Joining this leading defence consultancy as a Principal Procurement Consultant will give you the opportunity to operate across some of the largest defence procurement programmes in the country working with both the MoD and Private Sector contractors.

This consultancy also has teams that operate outside the defence industry so if you wanted to further diversify your skillset that opportunity is there once you get your foot in the door!
- Have the opportunity to develop and coach high-potential junior team members who will be working alongside you as part of your project team.
