Commissioning, managing, and assessing the quality of technical planning proposals and outputs from external consultants.

Location
The role can be based at any of the stated locations. The successful candidate will be expected to regularly attend their chosen office for face-to-face meetings and collaboration. Work location will be agreed once the successful candidate has been selected. Please confirm your location on your application form.
Alongside the advertised locations, other DIO locations may be offered. All sites will be considered whilst ensuring the location of the successful candidate can still meet the business and travel requirements of the role.
If travelling outside your base location for duty reasons, you will have access to flights, hire cars, rail tickets and overnight accommodation. You can also claim 45 pence per mile should you choose to use your own vehicle for business travel.
Travel may be required to carry out site visits where you may go on MOD Establishments, residential estates, building sites, agricultural land, training areas and firing ranges etc.
Where business needs allow, some roles may be suitable for a combination of office and home-based working. This is a non-contractual arrangement where all office-based employees will be expected to spend a minimum of 60% of their working time in office, subject to capacity and any required workplace adjustments. Requirements to attend other locations for official business, or work in another MOD office, will also count towards this level of attendance. Applicants can request further information regarding how this may work in their team from the Vacancy Holder (see advert for contact details). Defence Business Services cannot respond to any questions about working arrangements.
(Remote working within this role is something that can be discussed at interview stages or with your future line manager if you are found successful.)
