Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Orbex Full time

Orbex Copenhagen, Capital Region of Denmark, Denmark

Orbex are looking for a Senior Project Manager to support complex launch vehicle R&D propulsion projects for the Orbex Prime Launch vehicle.

You will be a highly experienced Project Manager with proven experience of managing a multi-disciplinary team of engineers to deliver large, complex and high-tech projects. You will be able to draw on experience to ensure the effective delivery of projects from R&D through development, manufacturing, test and ultimately of flight ready systems.

You will be able to navigate the complexities of safety-critical and highly regulated industry practices, working with your team of expert engineers to drive forward the multitude of sub-projects leading to the successful delivery of your team's deliverables and ultimately leading to the launch of the Prime launch vehicle while reporting directly to the Chief of Programmes.

This will be a fast-paced opportunity that offers exceptional freedom to further evolve the project management function in Copenhagen (CPH) to support the delivery of critical systems on this unique space launch vehicle.

Orbex

Orbex is a leading micro-launch company with our Prime and Proxima launch vehicles being prepared to launch from Scotland. We are well placed to be one of the first operational micro-launch companies in Europe with over €158m/£133m of project financing secured, a number of customers signed up, launch licence application submitted, and backing from organisations including UKSA and ESA.

We are a rapidly growing company with staff located between our production and test facilities in Forres, Scotland and Copenhagen, Denmark. Working on cutting edge advances in rocket fuel technology, Prime's carbon footprint is up to 96% lower than comparable vehicles, leading to innovations in propulsion and tank structures. A state-of-the-art re-flight system means we can recover and reuse our technology, and innovations in separation mechanisms mean we leave no debris on orbit.

Having developed in-house production capability, we can 3D print complex engines, produce full-scale carbon composite fuel tanks, and have avionics and software testing labs in both Scotland and Denmark. Based in Copenhagen, you will be right in the heart of this fast-paced cutting-edge company, using your skills to build a new launch vehicle for a buoyant commercial market.

Orbex is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is working towards a more diverse workforce in the aerospace industry.

  • It is expected that you will have formal programme management qualifications such an accredited Programme Management qualification APMP, PRINCE2 Practitioner, etc.
Preferred – though not essential
