The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) is the estate delivery expert for UK defence, supporting the armed forces by building, maintaining and improving infrastructure. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of the DIO, building on strong foundations.
We are seeking to appoint an exceptional individual to continue developing the DIO as a customer-focused, safety-conscious, expert delivery organisation. The successful candidate will lead the DIO Board in providing support and challenge to the DIO executive leadership team, working in close partnership with the DIO's sponsor, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) Chief Operating Officer (COO).
The MOD is one of the largest landowners in the country, with an estate equal to almost 2% of the UK land mass and spread over approximately 4,000 sites. The annual budget for the defence estate is around £3.3bn. The DIO manages the estate to ensure its safety, sustainability and rationalisation. The estate is critical to the effectiveness of the armed forces and managing UK defence. It is used for training and accommodation, and provides a base from which operations can be instigated.
