Job Description
The Opportunity
Leonardo Future Combat Air (FCA) are looking for open minded, collaborative Project Engineering Managers with a breadth of experience across the Product Life Cycle to deliver the enabling capabilities that will provide the foundations for the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP).
GCAP is an international collaboration between the UK, Japan and Italy developing a 6th generation Future Combat Air platform that will enter service in the mid 2030’s. In the UK, this platform is known as Tempest and will replace the Royal Air Force Typhoon fleet.
Leonardo UK plays a leading role in the development and delivery of airborne sensors and communications capabilities for GCAP. Fundamental to delivering these capabilities is the provision of the right tools and facilities, at the right location and at the right time for our teams to carry out their work. These enabling capabilities fall into the following broad categories
* Digital Engineering & Digital Thread
* Data Pipelines/Enablement
* Supply Chain, Production & Repair
* Physical Facilities & Digital Infrastructure.
You could help deliver these transformative capabilities, fit for a 6th generation programme.
What You Will Do
Successful delivery of GCAP will only be possible through the creation of an effective tri-national delivery enterprise with a shared sense of identity and purpose.

The Enablers Project Engineering Managers will be the focal points for the management of specialist engineering and non-engineering teams delivering GCAP enabling capabilities for Leonardo UK. You will also engage with international partners for the delivery of enabling capabilities across the international domain. Specific responsibilities will include but are not limited to
* Leading the establishment of UK National domain enablers practices including strategy, policy and process, to support efficient and effective delivery by geographically dispersed teams.
* Supporting international negotiations to deliver effective and efficient enablers practices across the international domain and ensuring technical viability of enabling solutions is preserved.
* Supporting the creation of commercial agreements, ensuring they support enablers delivery.
* Providing Engineering input to bids and proposals relating to the Programme.
This role may be based at any of the Leonardo UK major sites and may involve international travel.
