Overview
A hands‑on, delivery‑focused Project Engineer is needed to join GT Wings on a contract basis (£40‑£60 p/h), supporting the execution of its AirWing programme during a critical scale‑up phase. GT Wings has completed its first full‑scale AirWing installation and is now moving into repeatable production and commercial deployment. As engineering complexity increases, delivery discipline becomes essential. This contract role is about maintaining pace, clarity and execution across a fast‑moving hardware programme.
Responsibilities
* Drive day‑to‑day engineering coordination across mechanical, controls, performance and external suppliers.
* Translate product direction into structured work packages with defined owners and outcomes, ensuring outputs are aligned and ready for manufacturing and class submission.
* Identify interface risks between subsystems, challenge unclear scope and maintain visibility of engineering priorities.
* Actively remove blockers that threaten milestones, and ensure documentation, configuration control and engineering outputs are complete and consistent before release to production.
* Work closely with the Head of Engineering and discipline leads to bring structure, urgency and technical clarity to the live programme.
Qualifications
* Degree in Mechanical, Structural, Marine Engineering or related discipline.
* Strong experience delivering complex hardware systems into production.
* Proven ability to drive engineering work from concept through to manufacturing release.
* Experience coordinating across multidisciplinary teams and external suppliers.
* Solid understanding of engineering workflows, documentation and configuration control.
* Experience using modern project or task‑management tools to prioritise, track and drive engineering delivery in fast‑moving environments.
* Confidence operating in fast‑paced, accountable environments.
* Exposure to class‑society requirements such as DNV or LR, system‑level integration, installation or field operations, and experience with PLM systems such as Teamcenter would be advantageous.
Benefits
* Contract role (£40‑£60 p/h).
* Hybrid working supported, with three days per week onsite in Southampton.
