About the role....

Tired of death by spreadsheet? Looking for a role where you can use your Systems Engineering experience to gauge the realities of the team's timeframe and project commitments? Passionate about connecting people with the aim of knowledge sharing? Interested in an inward facing role where you can understand the different levels of skills and experience of your team members?

Due to increased workload, we have a newly created Technical Project Manager role for someone with Engineering Systems experience. You will be integrated into 1-3 projects at a time.

• Select and propose the most appropriate technologies for the sub-system, component or discipline.

• Ensure timely delivery of high quality on cost deliverables aligned with the wider programme

• Lead the resolution of technical issues related to sub-systems, components or specific disciplines

• Adapt and apply lean product development processes and meet programme delivery needs

​About you...

• Proven experience in technical management or sub-system leadership

• Strong understanding of system engineering principles and technical risk management

• Ability to drive delivery across multiple projects concurrently

• Experience working in a cross functional technical environment with a focus on innovation and efficiency

• Understanding of scoping and writing work packages
