Engineering Delivery Manager
Are you a hardworking individual with a can‑do attitude? Do you want to develop your career by taking on a managerial role that offers the opportunity to drive a programme? Do you have good communication skills and enjoy helping the development of others? If you have your interest, look no further…
What The Role Has To Offer
- Opportunity to step up to an engineering management position
- Good opportunity to learn in a different engineering domain
- Be able to stretch your thinking by working on a challenging & complex programme
About The Team / rewards
You will be managing a multidisciplinary team, including disciplines within Hardware, Software, Systems, Safety, and Cyber Security. This team works together on the delivery of sonar equipment. They are a close‑knit team who are hardworking, helpful and enjoy working together on site.
Our Opportunity
Your role as Engineering Delivery Manager will be to deliver on one of our key programmes, including being responsible for cost & schedule and filling full customer needs.
Your responsibility will be to provide the principle engineering delivery leadership, direction, decision authority and support to the programme or bid. You will also direct the Engineering team on projects or bids to achieve company objectives in terms of programme schedule, financial and quality targets.
You will need to ensure that the Engineering Processes are applied correctly and appropriately on the project to company, legislative, regulatory and international standards. Your role will include significant management responsibility for engineering strategy and direction and may have direct line management responsibilities for staff on projects.
About You
- You will have extensive experience of systems engineering and ideally would have worked within the defence sector.
- You would have previously worked in a multidisciplinary team as a team lead or member.
- You will have strong analytical skills supporting logical, effective and timely decision-making.
- You will have a strong appreciation of Safety and Safety Assurance within the Engineering discipline and Domain.
It would be desirable if you have undertaken a manager role previously, again ideally within defence having previously worked on submarines or sonar equipment. However, if not, it is not essential and this role would therefore be a great opportunity for you to develop this part of your career.
What We Can Offer
We’re committed to giving you opportunities to be your best. We believe in embracing the passion and potential of our people, and to achieve this we offer market‑leading training, development and experiences, along with the opportunity to be mentored and coached by some of the smartest minds in the industry.
UK Eyes Only
Due to the nature of the work that we do at Thales, many of our roles are subject to security restrictions. This role requires you to be a UK National and achieve Security Clearance (SC) without any caveats. It would be advantageous if currently held; however, if not currently held, it is a requirement that the successful applicant undergo, achieve, and maintain SC Clearance prior to commencing employment. If approved by the MOD, a dual national from a non‑ITAR country may be considered.
To be eligible for full SC, you generally need to have resided in the UK for the last 5 years. In some circumstances, a minimum of 3 years’ residence in the UK over the last 5 years may be accepted, with additional overseas checks.

At Thales, we ensure equal opportunities, pay and working conditions for all.
