• Manage configuration, technical data and engineering documentation to maintain accuracy and control.
• Support engineering governance, assurance, technical risk management and IFS/EAMS improvement.
• Collaborate with the SPO, site teams, technical subcontractors and engineering stakeholders.

The role is expected to obtain Engineering Authority Level 2 (EAL2) delegation under Serco's Delegations Framework.

Serco is a place for you

You’ll bring sound technical judgement and experience working across the technical and operational aspects of maritime sustainment. You'll be comfortable working with engineers, maintainers and Defence stakeholders to support safe operations, vessel availability and Defence capability.
