ARM is supporting an exciting opportunity that has arisen for a Standardisation Engineer to join a pioneering clean energy programme focused on delivering innovative low‑carbon power solutions. This role sits within the Standardisation & Standard Parts team, which is responsible for reducing product variation, improving engineering efficiency, and supporting deployment across a complex, highly regulated engineering environment.
Key Responsibilities
* Drive standardisation strategies across components, systems, and plant-wide engineering activities.
* Promote product and process consistency through standard rules, tools, and procedures.
* Review engineering artefacts to identify opportunities to reduce variation and improve repeatability.
* Support optimisation of engineering workflows, improving efficiency and reducing resource and time requirements.
* Contribute to the development and maintenance of standard parts catalogues and associated engineering tools.
* Provide technical guidance and governance relating to standardisation principles and decisions.
* Collaborate with internal stakeholders, suppliers, and multidisciplinary engineering teams to align design approaches and resolve variation issues.
* Support integration and consistency across multiple engineering disciplines and delivery partners.
What You’ll Bring
* Experience in engineering standardisation, configuration control, product optimisation, or related disciplines.
* Background in complex engineering environments such as nuclear, energy, aerospace, automotive, defence, rail, or manufacturing.
* Strong understanding of engineering processes, component interfaces, and product lifecycle considerations.
* Heavy mechanical product knowledge.
* Ability to influence stakeholders and drive alignment across cross‑functional teams.
* Excellent analytical and problem‑solving skills with a focus on continuous improvement.
* Strong communication and collaboration abilities.
* Must be a driven individual who is able to take full accountability for delivering set work packages.
Experience Required
* MEng Degree or HNC with proven experience in Mechanical Engineering.
