Job summary:

The Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA) is a part of the Ministry of Defence responsible for the procurement, in-service support, and disposal of the UK's nuclear submarines.

Our work is of unparalleled strategic importance nationally and internationally, ensuring the security of the UK's continuous at-sea nuclear deterrent, and delivering some of the most technically complex programmes in defence.

Here you'll find a community to belong to - whether that's alongside project teams with a shared vision or as part of an employee network of like-minded individuals.

We believe that, by celebrating different backgrounds and perspectives, together we'll achieve the extraordinary.

Discover more about our work:

We offer 25+ days' holiday, flexible and hybrid working, enhanced parental leave schemes, shopping discounts, and an exceptional employer pension contribution of around 27%, to help work, work for you.

For security reasons this role is open to sole UK nationals only.

A 'sole UK national' refers to an individual who holds citizenship solely in the UK, without dual citizenship or nationality from another country.

We're unable to offer visa sponsorship.

This role requires you to have lived in the UK for the last 5 years and obtain Security Check (SC) security clearance.

Clearance must be obtained without any caveats that prevent you from carrying out the role you have been recruited for.

If it isn't obtained, or is obtained but with caveats that prevent you from carrying out the role, any conditional offer made to you will be withdrawn.

Obtaining SC security clearance can be a lengthy process, and we reserve the right to withdraw any conditional offer made if the necessary security clearance isn't obtained within 12 months.

Job description:

Are you an experienced leader with strong interpersonal skills? Are you excited by the opportunity to shape and define the delivery of some of the biggest and complex defence programmes in the UK today? The Submarine Delivery Agency (SDA) are currently seeking enthusiastic and driven Operational Delivery Leader to join our team at Bristol.

Working in our Supplier Management team, you won't just be a part of our mission—you'll be at its core.

Working with some of our key suppliers (Rolls Royce, BAE Submarines and Babcock), you will find yourself travelling frequently between our contractor sites in Bristol, Barrow-in-Furness, Derby and Devonport.

You will take lead managing contractors and performing interventions to get the best from the team.

As part of our Key Supplier Management team, you will be expected to collaborate and meet regularly with stakeholders to come to the best decisions for the business, whilst demonstrating your ability to adapt in a fast-paced working environment.

You will take the lead with your allocated supplier, conducting improvement work and site visits to ensure that risks are mitigated, and that work is being completed efficiently.

When dealing with key suppliers directly, you will be expected to work independently and use your individual skillset to combat these issues head on.

At the SDA, we don't just offer a job—we offer a journey.

We're deeply committed to your professional growth, providing a wealth of training and development opportunities to help you navigate a rewarding career path with us.

Immerse yourself in our vibrant community that champions learning, innovation, and quality. Connect with like-minded individuals, exchange ideas, and celebrate diversity through our extensive range of staff networks.

We champion a balanced approach to work at the SDA.

Regular in-person attendance is required to promote the benefits of face-to-face collaboration (approximately 3 times a week) alongside flexibility of hours to support work-life balance.

Initially, you may be expected to attend more frequently to familiarise yourself with the site, team, and projects you will be working on in more detail.

There is also the expectation to travel to other sites (Bristol, Barrow-in-Furness, Derby and Devonport) on regular basis, of which your expenses will be paid for from your primary workstation.
