This role is accountable for a critical element of the Type 26 programme by delivering the Planning, Preparation and Execution work scope related to the Type 26 Propulsion Powertrain (Mechanical installation and alignment from GT to Propellers). This includes integration of all activities through to the point of handover to commissioning.

Additionally the job holder is ultimately responsible for the management and coordination of suppliers and major sub-contractors to support the completion of all Propulsion Powertrain activities on and off board Type 26.
