• Sole British citizenship with a valid British Passport (UK Eyes only).
• Possession of or eligibility to obtain UK National Security Vetting clearance to SC level.
• Proven experience in project engineering, project management, or a related role within a technical services or project delivery environment.

• Attend project review meetings for active service, upgrade, and delivery projects, gaining firsthand insight into real-world delivery challenges and translating these into improvements for future bids.
• Drive a culture of continuous improvement and lean operation by systematically feeding project outcomes back into the commercial and tendering processes to prevent the repetition of past issues.
• Work closely with Service Project Engineers and lead engineers at handover stage to ensure delivery teams fully understand the risk profile they are inheriting.

• Contribute to the evolution of internal risk assessment tools, templates, and methodologies to improve consistency and quality across the project portfolio.
