We are looking for a curious, process-minded Project Controller to join our growing delivery team in Glasgow, at the forefront of space technology. This is not a role for someone who maintains what already exists, it is a role for someone who builds what is needed. Spire's programme delivery team is scaling and needs stronger controls, better tooling and clearer processes to support a portfolio of complex, multi-year programmes spanning satellite services and government and defence contracts. You will work directly with Delivery Project Managers to establish the controls infrastructure that will keep programmes on track and gives leadership accurate, real-time visibility. If you are analytical, self-directed and energised by building things from scratch and you have an interest in how modern tooling and AI can make programme delivery smarter, this role is for you.
