RINA is looking for a highly experienced Independent Safety Auditor to join its specialist and growing Safety Engineering team, working for Defence clients across all aviation platforms including unmanned, fixed wing and rotary. This is an exciting opportunity to help develop and shape RINA's Safety and/or ISA capability, providing the Defence sector and the Military Aviation Authority (MAA) with world-class safety advisory services.
The Safety Engineering team delivers critical projects across some of the most technically advanced programmes in UK Defence, including carrier, unmanned air systems, Apache, Chinnock, Typhoon, and Air Traffic Management systems (ATM), to name a few. The successful candidate will be encouraged to take a lead on safety-critical or ISA projects, not only saving lives but also driving engineering efficiency.
This role can be based out of our Chippenham, Lincoln, or Leatherhead offices, though RINA is a smart/hybrid working organisation, so living within commuter distance of the office is not necessarily required. Moderate travel across the UK is required. Despite being a permanent position, we will also consider a part-time (PAYE) role, 3-4 days/week.
The role:
You will lead a variety of Safety Audit client projects to ensure requirements are delivered on time, to budget, and to the required quality.
1. You will manage projects either as an individual or managing a small team.
2. Support with bids, proposals, analysis, and report writing.
3. Promote RINA's Safety capability to customers, providing expert counsel through face-to-face liaison, relationship building, and presentations.
4. Assist the Safety management team with augmenting safety capability to meet new and emerging market demands.
This is not a Health & Safety (HSE) role.
Qualifications & experience:
1. At least ten years' experience in the application of functional safety engineering in high hazard environments, with at least three years operating as an ISA.
2. Knowledge of UK MOD (Defence) air platforms, ATM, or the MAA.
3. Comprehensive understanding of Defence Standards such as DefStan 00-055 / 056 / 970, MAA MRP, DSA01/02 and JSPs such as 815, 375, 418.
4. An understanding of how UK MOD frameworks (i.e. Aurora) operate.
5. Some working knowledge of ASEMS, POSMS, and POEMS processes.
6. You will have an engineering background.
7. Ideally, you will have UK Security Clearance, or you must be a British citizen and be prepared to go through vetting.
