• Work closely with other Rolls-Royce functions and customers to identify and progress cost reduction and design change based on service experience and maintainability / customer requirements.
• Prepare and deliver technical communications (e.g., presentation and/or reports) to the platform provider, regulators, customers, and internal stakeholders as necessary.
• Gather in-service data and identify best practice and learning, feeding back into product design and future programmes teams as appropriate.
