I’m partnering with a leading UK defence technology organisation delivering advanced mission-critical systems that operate across land, maritime and airborne domains.
We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Leader to take full ownership of engineering delivery across complex, regulated programmes. This is a high-impact role leading multi-disciplinary teams and ensuring delivery to scope, cost, schedule and governance standards aligned to ISO 15288 lifecycle principles.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and lead end-to-end engineering delivery across one or more programmes
- Lead multi-discipline teams and manage technical dependencies
- Identify and mitigate technical risk; manage change and configuration control
- Ensure artefacts meet contractual, regulatory and governance requirements
- Support programme planning, Basis of Estimate inputs and schedule optimisation
- Act as senior engineering interface with customers, suppliers and stakeholders
- Align resource capability with programme demand and future growth
Requirements
- Proven multidisciplinary leadership within Defence or Aerospace environments
- Strong Systems Engineering lifecycle knowledge
- Exposure to Command & Control, secure communications, encryption, sensors or integrated defence capability
This is a challenging brief requiring technical credibility, commercial awareness and strong leadership — but it offers real ownership and influence within nationally significant programmes.
Please note that this role requires candidates to undergo DV clearance.
