The Powertrain Delivery Team:
As a Production Manager responsible for the powertrain installation, you will have the exciting opportunity of delivering a complex and critical package of work, working concurrently on multiple vessels across our Scotstoun and Govan sites.
Type 26 has one of the most complex mechanical propulsion systems on any ship; achieving a high quality installation and proving the design and creating repeatability across class is of major strategic importance to the business. The programme has therefore decided to invest in an Integrated Team, comprised of the best SQEP available to ensure this activity is delivered to Safety, Quality, Cost and Programme and that an enduring capability is created.
This role is accountable for a critical element of the Type 26 programme by delivering the Planning, Preparation and Execution work scope related to the Type 26 Propulsion Powertrain (Mechanical installation and alignment from GT to Propellers). This includes integration of all activities through to the point of handover to commissioning.
The intent is to directly lead integration and delivery of the work-scope across the programme and in doing so to develop processes, capability, SQEP and documented ways of working to enable successful completion of follow on ships by the functional teams.
Additionally the job holder is ultimately responsible for the management and coordination of suppliers and major sub-contractors to support the completion of all Propulsion Powertrain activities on and off board Type 26.
