Your role

As a Lead Electrical Engineer - Sustaining, r eporting to the Technical Programme Manager, the Lead Electrical Engineer provides strategic technical leadership across the Sustaining Engineering function, supporting both Product Company Clevedon and the Service Division. The role ensures consistent application of engineering standards, robust design governance, and high-quality technical outputs across sustaining programmes. Working across factory support, obsolescence management, and field upgrade initiatives, the role drives safe, compliant, and serviceable design solutions that protect in-service performance and customer value. Key responsibilities include chairing and assuring design reviews, setting and maintaining electrical engineering approaches for sustaining projects, and ensuring solutions are aligned and repeatable across the sustaining portfolio.

Work at the core of our engineering and product development teams using engineering tools and methods to bring clarity from ambiguity and deliver products that meet Requirements, Standards, Directives, and are cost effective.
Work collaboratively with and effectively influence our engineering teams to ensure clarity of work packages, deliverables, and resolve engineering issues through determining the best solution.
Be accountable for the technical elements of the product system and/or subsystem design, as assigned, identifying risks, control and mitigation actions, escalating issues when necessary for higher-level resolution.
Ensure modularity and standardisation is incorporated to maximise reuse of our engineering effort.
Be accountable for safety and type testing of any system or subsystem you are responsible for, verifying and validating its compliance; reviewing and approving reports generated in this area, by the team.
Mentor and coach a growing core team of Electrical Engineers of all levels of expertise to continue their development towards being a Lead Electrical Engineer themselves.
Advocate and lead the adoption of best practice electrical engineering and new technologies (working with other teams in new and core technology development) across applicable projects to improve the delivery of engineering.
