Location: Plymouth, Devon, GB, PL1 4SG
Starting salary: £ 44,205.00


About the role
Here at Babcock International we're looking to recruit a Supply Chain Development Manager.

You will work on a 52 week fixed term contract.

The Future Maritime Support Programme (FMSP) is the UK MoD's new contracting framework designed to replace the Maritime Support Delivery Framework (MSDF) and Submarine Deep Maintenance Period (DMP) contracts. It will sustain over 9,400 jobs in the UK ensuring ongoing industrial support of the Royal Navy's capabilities, including new aircraft carriers, surface combatants and submarines as well as the infrastructure at the Naval Bases at Devonport and on the Clyde.

It is an ambitious programme designed to improve vessel availability, increase resilience of the maritime defence supply chain and ensure certainty of delivery, while also seeking substantial reductions in total support costs. Babcock must achieve all of these outcomes against a backdrop of increasingly complex commercial and regulatory requirements.

For Procurement and Supply Chain (P&SC), these increased complexities have created challenges in ensuring the function can deliver an effective and efficient value-adding service to the wider Babcock organisation and ultimately the UK MoD that remains compliant with all necessary requirements.

As a result, the supply chain function has embarked on an exciting, customer backed transformation programme which is designed to modernise our function and deliver the required transformation and associated benefits committed to our customer under FMSP.

The projects are focused on delivering functional best practise in the areas of contract management, supply planning, SRM, professional services and supply chain automation. Therefore, we are looking for candidates who believe they could make a difference, and are keen to shape the future. You'll manage stakeholders, analyse data to provide actionable insights and have skills in both project management and change management.

These roles will help safeguard Babcock's commercial interests, manage critical supply chain risks and support enhancements in functional competency and capability. In doing so, you will support effective assurance, control and governance of FMSP delivery and promote continuous improvement in the value offering of P&SC to Babcock and the end customer.

The main purpose of your role is to support and lead the development and implementation of a supply planning capability, while also supporting and were applicate lead/co-ordinate the delivery of the multiple Supply Planning work streams within the Supply Chain Planning FMSP programme of work.

You'll gain a detailed view of demand and supply planning while also providing a holistic view of P&SC operations. The role will also provide the opportunity to positively shape the future processes, systems and tools used by Supply Planning that underpin effective service delivery and the relationship with the end customer.

As a member of a high calibre P&SC team, you will be expected to lead and support significant projects that are critical to delivering value and managing key risks to Babcock and have wide impact across the business and into the supply chain.
This is a project management role where you will provide analytical support. We have technical expertise in our team, we now need a PM to collaborate this.

The team consists of 9 people in total.

What do I need to do the role?
You'll need project/demand experience and planning experience.

Would also like you to hold experience in the following:
* NVQ level 5 or relevant degree
* APM qualification
* Feeding in to a supply plan, project/demand planning
* Analytical skillset

What else do I need to know?
* The successful candidate will need to satisfy security requirements. This may require you to hold or be eligible/capable of achieving 'Security Check' (SC) clearance.
* We are happy to talk about flexible working. Please ask about alternative patterns of work at interview.
