This is a key leadership role, working with the Chief Engineer and Head of Engineering to identify, develop and deliver the technical solution. You will work closely with Leonardo’s internal engineering team that is tasked with delivering the main GCAP programme.

This is an exciting time within the GCAP programme, this engineering manager will play an important role in bringing together critical technology components into demonstrator hardware that will be tested and incorporated into future GCAP concepts and designs, ultimately contributing to our most advanced RF sensor to date.

As this role has a high profile with our customers and partners, it may require travel within the UK and abroad.

Working with specialists (such as safety and security) to coordinate their input to the main project
Creating a positive working relationship with customers and partners, to deliver project capability
Establishing and maintaining good lines of communication across the engineering team, with the engineering leadership team, Project Manager, and Heads of Discipline
Working closely with the Systems Design Authority ensuring they are fully informed on technical progress, technical risk and any mitigation strategies
Regularly reporting into engineering and project forums – including the definition and ownership of engineering milestones, authoring and maintaining the Scope of Work and reporting delivery from the multi/cross-functional Engineering team.
Ensuring the design solution meets the end user requirement, is reliable, fully documented and works within the designated environment
Coordinate engineering input to bid activities

You really must have:

Ability to achieve DV level security clearance
Broad experience across engineering lifecycles, with an emphasis on engineering and associated planning activities for successful delivery outcomes
A disciplined approach to reporting and planning

Knowledge of a broad range of engineering disciplines
Experience of consortium projects
Experience of the application of continuous improvement principles
Experience with New Product Introduction
