Job Description
This role is responsible for supporting the delivery of advanced technology programmes within the Low Observable (LO) Materials domain, providing Technical Management across the Platform Shaping Technology portfolio. The position involves coordinating a range of activities including technology programme planning, delivery and reporting, as well as supplier management and engagement across a complex supply chain. You will play a key role in integrating work across multiple Shared Delivery Units (SDUs), shared services and work packages, ensuring effective technical alignment and integration across a diverse and evolving technology portfolio.
In addition, the role supports the management and reporting of headcount and budget for the LO Materials Technology Portfolio, working closely with the Low Observable Materials Domain Lead to maintain robust governance and control. The portfolio is delivered through a multi-disciplinary team operating across Warton and Samlesbury, with further collaboration across UK sites and external suppliers, requiring strong coordination and stakeholder management skills.
While the core Technical Management activities are UK-based, the role will also contribute to international collaboration efforts, including supporting mobilisation into joint venture environments when required.
Core Duties
- Operating as part of the FCAS-AP WP2 Platform Shaping Technologies team, contributing to the delivery of a broad range of Technical Management activities across a complex and innovative technology portfolio.
- Supporting end-to-end technology programme planning, delivery and performance reporting, alongside supplier engagement and coordination across Shared Delivery Units (SDUs), shared services and cross–work package integration.
- Contributing to the development of quarterly scope definition and associated delivery commitments, ensuring alignment through robust planning and integrated scheduling processes.
- Assisting in the maintenance of a coherent DAREO (technical and programmatic baseline), underpinning effective planning and schedule integration, while identifying, synthesising and escalating key risks and issues into delivery and project governance forums.
- Supporting Low Observable (LO) Materials technology viability activities, including stocktake assessments, lifecycle gate inputs, Engineering Design Reviews (EDRs), and the facilitation of formal gate review processes.
