Ontic, a leading licensor and manufacturer of complex engineering parts for the global aerospace and defence industries, is now recruiting for a Technical Project Engineer to join our PMO team where you'll support the successful transfer and adoption of product lines into Ontic. This role will be based at our Staverton site with travel required during licence and acquisition phases.
In this role, you will provide technical support within the PMO team during product line transfers, taking responsibility for the transfer and rebuild of engineering data and product knowledge into Ontic. You will lead and manage engineering activities from initial due diligence through to full adoption, ensuring all documentation is accurately retrieved, transferred and catalogued. You will work closely with technicians and operators, providing product knowledge and delivering training to support a smooth transition. Alongside this, you will oversee the development, transfer or duplication of manufacturing and test equipment, ensuring alignment with Ontic’s capabilities and standards. Managing multiple projects simultaneously, you will identify opportunities for efficiency, address regulatory requirements, and ensure any gaps are resolved within project timelines. You will also contribute to continuous improvement by capturing and implementing lessons learned throughout the transition process.
To be successful in this role you'll need to have strong manufacturing engineering experience within an aerospace environment, ideally within an MRO or OEM setting, along with a solid understanding of aviation quality standards, design and configuration control. Experience supporting new product introduction or product transfers would be advantageous, as would previous planning experience. You will bring strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to communicate clearly and confidently at all levels. Comfortable managing multiple priorities, you’ll be able to work independently under pressure while maintaining a focus on quality and compliance. Strong interpersonal and leadership skills are essential, particularly when supporting and training others, and you should be flexible in your approach, including the ability to travel when required.
