British Army - Programmes

British Army – Programmes are recruiting. We have two further vacancies based either in Andover or Bristol. Our Armoured Cavalry Programme is recruiting for a Project Delivery Professional to join the team as a Programme Integration Lead. We are looking for a highly organised individual who will be a key member of the leadership team, focusing primarily on providing insight information and support in a Project Delivery setting. The successful candidate will be pivotal in making sound judgements on priorities, triaging and progressing urgent activities, communicating direction and requirements from the leadership team and being motivated to drive change at all levels. Full details can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eHtYZpiZ We are also recruiting for a Chinook Safety manager with a strong understanding of Air System Safety Case Management to support the delivery of a complex capability to the front line. The successful candidate will be the lead point of contact for all safety matters throughout the acquisition phase of the programme. This is a niche role working in the Aviation safety space, therefore we are looking for interested candidates who can demonstrate an existing understanding of the aviation/air safety process and regulations. Whilst we would not expect candidates to hold specific knowledge or experience in Chinook aircraft, we are interested to hear from you if this is a passion of yours.

Hope I did Simon Finch and the rest of my team from Mil Eng British Army - Programmes justice. Looking forward to next years event CEL2025 in Warsaw. Thanks to the Team from Defence Leaders for an excellent event earlier this year.

The first Army vehicles have rolled into a new state-of-the-art storage facility at MOD Ashchurch, delivered under the Vehicle Storage and Support Programme (VSSP). VSSP is delivering storage and maintenance infrastructure to support thousands of British Army vehicles and associated equipment. The first storage facility is now in service, providing immediate capability to the Field Army with controlled humidity environment storage for around 600 vehicle platforms. The official opening of the building took place last week, with TROJAN breaking the tape as the first vehicles began rolling through the doors. Two years on from the VSSP contract signing in summer 22, the Programme continues to deliver to schedule – and at pace. The first completed asset - an admin building for site personnel – was handed over earlier this month; 2 more buildings are due to be completed this year, and 6 additional buildings are currently in construction. All of this has been achieved alongside enabling demolitions and with minimal disruption to site operations. Thanks to the successful collaboration between the joint team from Army Basing & Infrastructure and Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), VSSP continues supporting the Field Army to ensure the readiness of the fleet. #ProgrammeManagement #ProjectManagement

Following a successful transition period from a 20-year-old Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract that expired this month, the British Army’s new contract for delivering a Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) capability went live this month.  The Interim Capability Solution contract placed with KBR, Inc., as part of the wider Material Distribution Land 25 Programme, secures a HET capability for the next three years. The capability is a vital enabler for logistic movement including the transportation of heavy armour, such as the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank, from operating bases to areas of operations both in the UK and abroad. #ProgrammeManagement Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) #Tank #HET

The Land Enterprise Working Group (LEWG) Executive Group met at the Land Warfare Conference this week, bringing together the British Army, Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S), industry and academia. Over the past few years, our relationship with industry has gone from strength to strength and we always welcome our partners providing insight from their sectors to help us better understand the UK’s Land-facing Defence industry. Groups such as this help us continue to develop ever closer relationships with industry, further advancing our technological advantage and delivery of increased lethality.

Take a look around the new state-of-the-art band facility delivered for British Army musicians at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. The bespoke purpose-built facility offers a modern and acoustically optimised environment for rehearsals and performances. The project was delivered in collaboration with our partners by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) for the Army, under the Defence Estate Optimisation (DEO) Army Programme. An official opening of the new facility will take place this autumn. #ProgrammeManagement #ProjectManagement

ZODIAC has reached its Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Drop 1 milestone and the team recently took the opportunity to provide a demonstration to members of British Army Headquarters. ZODIAC will be integral to digitalising the Army’s Sensor-Decider-Effector chain, increasing our lethality by faster decision-making, lower the cognitive burden on operators, and more efficient use of the Army’s resources. ZODIAC utilises cutting-edge technology and provides the platform for the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into the Army’s ISTAR processes, increasing the quality of decision-making and speeding up the tempo of operations. The picture shows the programme's Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) Brigadier Matthew Birch explaining the system to the gathered audience. #ProgrammeManagement #Projectmanagement

The Royal Engineers Combat Water Supply System (CWSS) journey continues…. In line with the Land Industrial Strategy #LIS and as part of the British Army’s modernisation agenda, alongside our partners in Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) and KBR, Inc. Swindon, we have accelerated the delivery of a bulk water production capability to enhance our NATO readiness commitment for the Field Army. Through a training package, designed and delivered through KBR, our Royal Engineer soldiers can deliver potable and palatable water at scale on Operations. The CWSS containerised system can generate up to 12,000 litres of water per hour in theatre for direct issue or packaging. The CWSS eliminates the need for bottled water and unburdens the strategic logistic chain to focus on warfighting supply. #ProgrammeManagement #ProjectManagement

Great progress at MOD Ashchurch, where the team recently celebrated the handover of the first of 4 buildings due to be completed this year under the Vehicle Storage and Support Programme (VSSP).

The first completed building is now in service, providing modern administrative and office space for military and civilian personnel. It’s a significant milestone for the joint team from Army Programmes and Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), who continue working hard to restore the capability of the site to time and on schedule, with minimal disruption to site operations. #ProgrammeManagement #ProjectManagement
