The Delivery Manager (Defence) is a new position within the recently created TEKEVER Defence Division.

Tekever Defence is responsible for the development and delivery of Tekever’s capability offering to the defence market. It is split into 4 main departments – Defence Technologies, Delivery, Operations, and BD & Strategy.

The Delivery unit is responsible for overseeing the successful delivery of TEKEVER’s defence contracts, working closely with customers, industry partners, and colleagues across TEKEVER to ensure success.

As a Delivery Manager you will oversee the delivery of major projects within TEKEVER Defence, working closely across a range of defence customers. You will be the driving force of your projects, coordinating and cohering activity across the wider TEKEVER group in advance of the project objectives.

You will also lead customer communication working closely with procurement organisations and end users to ensure TEKEVER not only delivers on its contractual obligations, but meets ambitious capability expectations.

The successful applicant will have an exceptional track record of delivery with strong evidence of your ability to solve complex problems under tight timelines. This could be within a defence or wider industry context. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills is a must as is an ability to quickly understand and communicate complex technical issues.

Above all you will have a passion for the industry with the drive and determination to make your contribution the exciting field of autonomy and UAS.
