Backed by a highly successful, multi-million-pound parent group, this specialist engineering division is experiencing an exceptional period of growth due to a massive influx of secure, high-value contracts. If you want to move away from repetitive assembly lines and step into a role where you will oversee complex, bespoke, and highly regulated engineering projects within defence and nuclear sectors, this is the ultimate career move.
Key Responsibilities
- End-to-End Project Oversight: Manage multiple complex, high-security projects through to final delivery, ensuring strict alignment with cost, timeline, and compliance metrics.
- Bridge Office & Production Floor: Coordinate closely with fabrication and assembly teams to supervise weld testing, NDT processes, and first-article inspections.
- Document Control & Governance: Take full ownership of technical compliance writing, compiling robust quality assurance plans, operational manuals, and lifetime record dossiers required by tier-one clients.
- Continuous Improvement Leadership: Spearhead root-cause analysis and corrective actions (utilizing 5Whys, 8D, and Ishikawa methodologies) to continuously elevate manufacturing and engineering standards.
- Subcontractor & Audit Management: Evaluate and monitor external suppliers and subcontractors, ensuring their outputs strictly adhere to rigorous quality frameworks (such as ISO9001 and ISO 3834).
