* Lead and deliver projects spanning NPI and CI in the Aerospace industry
* Be the technical anchor point for cross-functional project teams
About Our Client
This opportunity is with a Globally recognised manufacturer known for its contribution to the industrial and manufacturing sector. The organisation specialises in providing high-quality engineering solutions and operates at the forefront of innovation within its field.
Job Description
* Lead the planning and execution of technical projects, from feasibility through to full-rate production, with a focus on NPI, industrialisation, and technology integration.
* Coordinate multi-disciplinary teams across design, manufacturing engineering, quality, and supply chain to ensure coherent project delivery.
* Define project scope, schedules, risk registers, and resource plans using structured project management methodologies (e.g., APM, Prince2).
* Act as the primary interface for engineering-led projects with internal stakeholders and external aerospace customers.
* Ensure that products are developed with full consideration for manufacturability, cost, and compliance with customer and regulatory requirements.
* Oversee the creation of manufacturing documentation including process flows, PFMEAs, control plans, and work instructions.
* Apply APQP and PPAP methodologies to ensure products and processes are production-ready and fully validated.
* Manage engineering change, configuration control, and versioning throughout the project lifecycle.
* Conduct technical reviews and design-for-manufacture (DFM) workshops to de-risk industrialisation activities.
* Drive resolution of technical issues through root cause analysis, using 8D, DMAIC, or similar structured problem-solving tools.
* Provide regular updates on progress, risks, and mitigation plans to senior stakeholders, customers and project governance boards.
* Ensure adherence to AS9100, customer-specific standards (e.g., Rolls-Royce SABRe, Airbus standards), and internal QMS procedures.
* Contribute to continuous improvement across engineering and project delivery processes.
