As a Graduate Project Manager you don’t need first-hand project management experience, but you must be able to grasp its principles, be exceptionally organised and willing to learn. Fast. You will definitely need to know your way around Microsoft Office (and if you’ve got any MS Project experience that would be great too). We are looking for someone who is happy to get stuck in working as part of a team but also able to take away actions and work independently.
You'll need to be passionate about diversity and inclusion as this will be at the core of the work you do - enabling you to see, experience and participate across the full breadth of work in this space, from strategic projects to staff interactions, and dedicated activities to embed D&I in all that we do.
If you have any experience or exposure to running communications and engagement activities for colleagues and capturing and identifying opportunities for continual improvement, we would love to hear from you.
Beyond that, we’re looking for someone who’ll thrive in an environment like ours. At NPL we learn from each other, respect each other and work together to do better. For ourselves and for our customers. And whilst we’re always looking to stretch beyond what we know, we don’t make things more complicated when there’s no need.
We actively recruit citizens of all backgrounds, but the nature of our work in specific departments means that nationality, residency and security requirements can be more tightly defined than others. You will be asked about this throughout the recruitment process. To work at NPL, you will need to obtain BPSS security clearance.
Please note: Applications will be reviewed, and interviews conducted throughout the duration of this advert therefore we may at any time bring the closing date forward. We encourage all interested applicants to apply as soon as practical.
