Salary £75k - £88k - Manager level

Leonardo UK operates a grade-based salary framework with broad bands. The salary range shown reflects the approved grade band for this role, or a narrower hiring range published within that band, and is benchmarked against the external market. Exceptions above the standard range are managed through governance controls to protect internal equity.

Your impact

Are you an innovative and adaptable Quality professional, with a passion for problem solving and improvement?

At Leonardo we have an exciting opportunity for a Quality Improvement Lead to work on our GCAP Electronics Evolution Consortium (G2E) at our Reading site.

G2E brings together four world-leading defence electronics champions, from three nations (Italy, UK and Japan), as a single strategic enabling partner, with one vision…to deliver the Integrated Sensors And Non-Kinetic Effects and Integrated Communications Systems (ISANKE & ICS) that will make the GCAP next-generation fighter jet, a sensor powerhouse.

As Quality Improvement Lead, you will be a UK representative for the G2E Domain Quality Management Office (DQMO), working under the Quality Director to drive improvement activities.

As part of an international consortium it is expected that this role will involve travel internationally as well as nationally between Leonardo UK sites. It is also likely that the role will start at our Luton site and subsequently move to Reading, dependent on timelines.

As Quality Improvement Lead you will:

Implement process improvements and manage data to monitor quality performances and KPIs.
Integrate advanced technologies (e.g. AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing, IoT) to enhance quality monitoring.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support continuous improvement initiatives.
Implement tools to support the five phases: Planning, Product Design and Development, Process Design and Development, Product and Process Validation, and On-going Production, Use, and Post-delivery Service.
Support internal departments in the application of these tools by providing training, resources, and guidance on the tool principles and practices.
Co-ordinate with the international partners to ensure their supply chain support these tools to ensure they meet quality standards and requirements.
Conduct audits and assessments to verify compliance with those tools and processes.
Facilitate effective communication between G2E and Partner teams to ensure alignment on quality expectations and deliverables.

What you’ll bring:

Essential

A degree in a STEM or business related topic
Experience of working in a quality or business improvement role
An understanding of ISO 9001
Analytical and problem solving skills
Good communication skills, both written and verbal
Evidence of good collaboration skills and cross geographic working, to reach agreements and form partnerships

Desirable

AS 9100 series of standard (incl AS9145)
Agile Development Frameworks (e.g. SCRUM)
Quality Management software and tools
Lean / Six Sigma Principles

This is not an exhaustive list, and we are keen to hear from you even if you might not have experience in all the above. The most important skill is a good attitude and willingness to learn.

Security Clearance

This role will require National Security Vetting to SC level. It is a requirement that the successful applicant will undergo, achieve, and maintain SC Clearance. A range of Personnel Security Controls referred to as National Security Vetting (NSV) will apply, this will include meeting the eligibility requirements for The Security Check (SC) or Developed Vetting (DV).
