To enable Dstl to deliver its extensive program of specialized science and technology work to the Ministry of Defence and wider government, excellent project managers are needed.
Dstl, which is the science behind the UK’s defense and security and an executive agency of the Ministry of Defence, provides outstanding benefits and excellent career development opportunities to its employees while assisting in safeguarding our country.
The delivery of Dstl’s professional research, specialized counsel, and vital operational support across a broad range of fields, from cyber and artificial intelligence to weapons and explosives, depends heavily on project managers.
In exchange, Dstl provides a fantastic career path, ongoing professional growth through training and education opportunities, and membership in trade associations.
The requirements indicated in the 2021 Integrated Review and the projects and programs included in MOD’s Science and Technology Portfolio for 2022 and beyond are reflected in the increased demand for project management skills.
Project manager Carl from the exploration division says:
My present project spans a variety of research areas, including DNA, neuromorphic technology, and quantum computing.
Dstl offers a wonderful career route that may take you from a Project Support Officer all the way up to senior project management jobs in addition to the projects that I help to deliver.
A variety of training and educational opportunities, as well as membership in professional organizations, actively support ongoing professional growth.
Project manager Helen, senior principal, says:
I provide cutting-edge science and technology (S&T) to the government at large and the defence sector.
It’s wonderful to be a part of the amazing job that we do. Every day is a learning day, and no two are alike.
The people, our beliefs, diversity and inclusion, and of course flexible working are highlights of working at Dstl.
If you are determined to succeed, the sky is the limit, and the range of work available in Dstl is unparalleled.
You only need strong project management abilities; you don’t require a background in research and technology.
