What is the role?

As part of our exciting growth plans, we are looking for a Reliability & Maintainability (R&M) consultant to join our Asset Performance Services business line. As part of the team you will deliver world class solutions to our varied client base.

As a Reliability & Maintainability (R&M) Consultant you will be passionate about R&M and providing independent and assured R&M advice. You will support the delivery of R&M projects to schedule, quality and budget, whilst meeting client and corporate expectations. Your knowledge and experience of reliability engineering techniques, processes and concepts will allow you to support our clients in delivering expert technical solutions to their complex requirements.

As a consultant you will have a contracted location in one of our offices (Bath, Fareham, Plymouth, Glasgow or Weymouth) and you will be required to work on client sites, as required. Depending on project needs you will be expected to occasionally travel to customer sites and BMT offices.

Who are we looking for?

This role will require successful applicants to have knowledge of equipment design, operations, and support, and they will need to demonstrate their ability and track record of:

• Conducting R&M engineering tasks of complex systems eg. Military Equipment and/or Rail Rolling Stock, including for example:

• Applying applicable R&M and Dependability standards, for example DEF STAN 00-040 Series, the BS EN IEC 60300 Series, BS EN 62741:2015, BS EN IEC 60812, BS 5760 Series, MIL STD 1629, NPRD 2016 and RIAC Handbook 217Plus;
• Articulating results of R&M engineering tasks in formal reports (eg. R&M Case Reports) and presentations;

Successful applicants will need to demonstrate:

• Awareness of related standards including DEF STAN 00-600 and BR1313A.
• Understanding of the relationships between R&M and Design, Dependability, Safety, ILS & Asset Management;
• Confidence at liaising with clients and other technical disciplines on R&M issues;

Successful applicants will be:

• Solution focused and undertake work/projects in a logical and pragmatic approach;
• Flexible and adaptable and have a genuine enthusiasm to contribute to the growth of a successful business;
• Self-motivated with a proactive approach to professional accreditation, such as IEng or CEng. We value professional qualifications and professional registration with appropriate bodies, and we can provide support, training, and tailored experience for you to achieve these, if not already held.

As much of our work is directly customer focused, your excellent communication skills and ability to present professionally both verbally and in writing are essential for this role. We also welcome your analytical thinking skills and your ability to work well in a team.

Membership and active involvement with appropriate R&M organisations is encouraged (e.g. Safety and Reliability Society).
