Descrição da oferta de emprego

Configuration Manager | Defence Technology | South West Midlands

When a product protects people on operations, "which version did we ship?" can't be a hard question. My client designs electronic systems for defence and security customers worldwide, and they need someone to own configuration and change control across the business.

They're an established, R&D-led defence technology company with secure long-term backing. The team is small and hands-on, so this role carries real weight. You'll set the standard for how

products are baselined, changed and audited, rather than administering someone else's system.

What you'll do

• Write and maintain Configuration Management Plans for projects and programmes
• Define and control product baselines throughout the lifecycle
• Run the engineering change process end to end, coordinating CRs and ECOs
• Chair Configuration Control Boards, from agendas and decision packs to tracking actions to close
• Maintain configuration records, product structures and released documentation
• Produce status accounting reports for customers, programme managers and senior leadership
• Support audits and compliance with DEF STANs, ISO 9001 and AS9100
• Improve the processes and tools, and train engineering teams on best practice

What you'll bring

• Configuration management experience in an engineering, manufacturing, aerospace or defence environment
• A solid grasp of configuration identification, change control, status accounting, and verification and audit
• Experience running formal engineering change processes and chairing or coordinating CCBs
• Strong organisation, attention to detail and report writing
• Confidence with Jira and Confluence, plus some Python or C/C++ capability

Nice to have

• Familiarity with DEF STAN configuration guidance and ISO 10007
• PLM, PDM or ERP systems
• Experience supporting design reviews and programme governance
• Your work keeps operational kit traceable and supportable in service
• A role where you build the CM function's standards, not just follow them
• Stability and investment without the bureaucracy of a large prime
• A countryside location with lower living costs, commutable from Hereford, Gloucester, Monmouth and Cheltenham

Permanent role. You'll need to be able to obtain SC clearance.
