Due to increased workload, we have a newly created Technical Project Manager role for someone with Engineering Systems experience. You will be integrated into 1-3 projects at a time.

• Select and propose the most appropriate technologies for the sub-system, component or discipline.
  
• Ensure timely delivery of high quality on cost deliverables aligned with the wider programme
  
• Lead the resolution of technical issues related to sub-systems, components or specific disciplines
  
• Adapt and apply lean product development processes and meet programme delivery needs
  

About you...

• Proven experience in technical management or sub-system leadership
  
• Strong understanding of system engineering principles and technical risk management
  
• Ability to drive delivery across multiple projects concurrently
  
• Experience working in a cross functional technical environment with a focus on innovation and efficiency
