Your Impact

Leonardo has an exciting opportunity for Project Engineering Leads based at our Southampton Site on the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).

We are looking for a Project Engineering Lead (PEL) to join the engineering team on a permanent basis to lead parts of the Airborne Communication system on this project. This role will lead and manage a multi-disciplinary engineering team to deliver the project.

Project Engineering Leads are responsible for the total engineering activity undertaken on a project or portfolio of projects and so manage cross-disciplined engineering teams. The Project Engineering Lead is tasked to ensure that the engineering team delivers a solution that is compliant with the customer technical requirements; contractual requirements; and legislative requirements. Working closely with Project Managers and Project Engineering Manager and Chief Engineer, the Project Engineering Lead must effectively plan and manage the engineering effort within projects from a performance, schedule and cost perspective.

Reporting to a Project Engineering Manager, the Project Engineering Lead contributes to the monthly engineering governance cycle through preparation of engineering status reports. Project Engineering Leads build strong relationships with Engineering Functional Leads to ensure the resourcing plans for their projects are realistic and any issues arising are resolved swiftly.

The role requires a candidate who is self-motivated, proactive and enthusiastic, with strong leadership and communication skills.

A strong product design, commercial and business awareness is also essential to ensure that the engineering effort can be managed in the correct context for each given project.

What you'll do;

Project Engineering Leads are responsible for the management of a multi-disciplined engineering team across multiple projects. Working closely with project managers and project engineering managers, they are responsible for delivery of the overall engineering output against time, cost and performance budgets.
Project Engineering Leads are responsible for generating clear and relevant engineering plans, establishing key milestones and identifying risks, opportunities and interdependencies.
Project Engineering Leads are responsible for reviewing the current engineering positions on projects, and adapting plans as required to mitigate risks to either cost, schedule or performance budgets.
Project Engineering Leads are responsible for preparation and communication of monthly engineering status reports for each of their assigned projects into their line manager, the Head of Engineering Projects
Project Engineering Leads are responsible for the coordination of engineering input into bids as part of the business winning process.
Project Engineering Leads form part of the multi-functional management team for their IPT and may be required to represent engineering on that team at weekly and monthly progress and reporting meetings.

What you'll bring;

Educated to a degree level in an engineering or related science based subject (essential)
Previous experience of managing and/or leading multi-disciplined engineering teams, taking responsibility for schedule and budget (essential)
Strong understanding and proven track record of engineering lifecycles and processes (essential)
