Drive efficiency and consistency across the department.
Support the development of scalable systems as the team grows.

Performance Management

Conduct regular 1:1s and formal performance reviews.
Set clear objectives aligned with business priorities.
Provide constructive feedback and support improvement.
Manage performance issues where required.

Ensure engineering outputs meet required quality and technical standards.
Work closely with production to support design-for-manufacture.
Provide guidance on technical challenges where needed.

Future scope may include:

Department strategy and structure

Budget ownership
Senior leadership contribution
