Job Description

As a public asset, our infrastructure must also deliver wider Governmental objectives.

Managing the Defence Infrastructure Enterprise, which comprises airfields, barracks, naval bases, nuclear facilities, training areas, test ranges and housing is a complex business which accounts for approximately 10% of the Defence budget.
