Engineering Team Lead – Configuration, BOM & Compliance
Location: Inchinnan (HQ), supporting other global design locations
We are seeking an experienced Engineering Team Lead to lead our configuration management and engineering change function across a diverse and evolving product portfolio, including both current and legacy products.
This is a pivotal engineering leadership role, where you will be responsible for ensuring that Bills of Materials (BOMs), engineering change (ECR/ECN), and technical files are accurate, traceable, and fully compliant. You will set the standards that enable multi-site product design while balancing speed of innovation with robust governance and control.
Reporting to the Head of Engineering, you will own the governance of engineering configuration and product data, ensuring design information is:
- "Right first time"
- Audit-ready
- Aligned to regulatory and quality requirements
You will work closely with Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Service teams to ensure changes are implemented effectively without compromising safety, compliance, or continuity of supply.
This role is well-suited to an engineering leader with strong configuration, change control, or lifecycle governance experience who enjoys bringing structure, clarity, and continuous improvement to complex technical environments.
Key Responsibilities
Configuration & Change Management
- Lead configuration management across the full product portfolio, including:
- Part numbering
- BOM structures
- Revisions
- Lifecycle status and release governance
- Own and manage the Engineering Change (ECR/ECN) process, from impact assessment through implementation and closure
- Act as custodian of product technical files, ensuring completeness, traceability, and audit readiness
- Define and implement consistent engineering standards for drawings, documentation, and templates across design locations
- Maintain strong data integrity between CAD, PDM/PLM, and ERP systems (e.g., SAP)
