Job Description

At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.

BDUK is a subsidiary of the Boeing Company and currently employs over 1,800 people in the UK. BDUK is responsible for delivering several exciting contracts to our UK Defence customers including E-7 AEW&C, P-8A Maritime Patrol Aircraft, C4ISTAR Services, Through Life Support for the Chinook and Apache Fleets, Logistic Information Services and Training Services

The UK MoD has procured nine P-8A Multi-Mission Aircraft (MMA) with all aircraft having been handed over to the Royal Air Force (RAF) in early 2022. Along with the aircraft, MoD has procured support to Training Delivery and Ground based Synthetic Training Devices to support RAF’s training needs for P-8A Aircraft, directly from BDUK. This role will form part of the programme management team responsible for the oversight, co-ordination, and delivery of an effective service to the MoD across the full breadth of the contract scope, working with a team of more than 200 people to help keep the UK’s maritime patrol aircraft capable and flying, and the RAF crews who fly them trained and ready.
