Lead a specialist engineering capability

A great opportunity for an experienced engineering leader to take ownership of a growing specialist team and shape the future of an important technical capability.

You will lead a team of around 12 engineers responsible for complex performance assessment, using advanced modelling, simulation and high-performance computing to understand system behaviour across a wide range of conditions.

Demand for the team's expertise is growing, so this is a chance to build, develop and expand a capability that is becoming increasingly important to the wider engineering organisation.

• Lead, develop and grow a team of specialist engineers

• Manage recruitment, staff development, capacity planning and objectives
• Provide pragmatic technical leadership across projects, bids and emerging areas
• Apply your understanding of the systems engineering lifecycle
• Build strong relationships with project teams, customers and other engineering functions
• Develop knowledge-sharing and best practice across the team

You will be an experienced engineering leader who can combine people leadership, technical credibility and strategic thinking.

You should have:

• Experience leading technical or specialist engineering teams
• Strong knowledge of systems engineering
• The ability to develop people and build high-performing teams
• Experience with recruitment, capacity planning or capability development
• The confidence to provide technical direction on complex or emerging topics
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills

If you are ready to lead people, develop technical capability and make a real impact, we would like to hear from you.
