What we offer

We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

  • Work with engineering, supporting functions and the wider programme team to prioritise, resource, and govern packages of work in support of Original Equipment programme delivery.
  • Own and manage programme risk, finances, and scheduling.

  • Deliver new work proposal submissions, integrating with purchasing, commercial and other supporting functions as required.

We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving.
