This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Engineering Manager to join a high-profile APNT (Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing) programme.

What will set you apart in this role is proven experience and strong understanding of product development life cycles in a high technology engineering sector.

Due to the nature of work and projects, you will be required to undergo UK SC Security Clearance (existing SC desirable but not essential). To be eligible for security clearance, you will need to be a UK resident for a minimum of 5 years.

• Lead engineering delivery across a complex product development programme
• Coordinate and drive multidisciplinary engineering activities
• Support engineers in overcoming technical and programme challenges
• Manage programme schedules, risks and reporting
• Work closely with Design Authorities, Chief Engineers and Programme Leadership
• Mentor technical leads and engineering teams
