TEKEVER's Regulations Manager holds overall responsibility for the regulatory and governance framework behind the company's flying activity, spanning both civil and defence contexts. The role is accountable for ensuring TEKEVER obtains and keeps in place the licences, authorisations and accreditations that let its uncrewed air systems (UAS) fly legally in the UK and in the other jurisdictions where TEKEVER operates.

Based within the Defence Division's Safety and Regulations team, the postholder produces SORA submissions and Operational Safety Cases for both civil and defence customers, runs several concurrent Operational Authorisation applications, and represents TEKEVER to a wide range of aviation regulators, among them the UK CAA, MAA, Ofcom, EASA, JARUS, Japan's JCAB and the US DoD, as well as other national aviation authorities as TEKEVER's international footprint grows.

• Keep operational procedures, safety systems and supporting documentation compliant across every area of civil and defence flying.

• Represent TEKEVER in dealings with aviation regulators, among them the UK CAA, MAA, EASA, JARUS, JCAB, the US DoD and other national authorities, whenever approvals, exemptions or authorisations are being sought.
• Support the business through accreditation under the Contractor Flying Approved Organisation Scheme (CFAOS) and, where needed, the Maintenance (MAOS) and Design (DAOS) Approved Organisation Schemes.
• Track the business's standing against MAA Regulatory Publications (MRP) so flying operations, safety management and operational readiness stay at the required level.
• Hold responsibility for TEKEVER's Ofcom spectrum permissions, watching expiry dates, lodging renewals ahead of time, and applying for coverage at new sites as they come online.
• Work with the design engineering team to pull together the technical data…
