• Develop and maintain appropriate tools and frameworks to optimise the design and management of integrated rig systems. Support and coach the team and its stakeholders regarding Systems Engineering and driving the right V&V behaviours.

Who we're looking for

• Knowledge and experience of test campaigns, techniques, engineering standards and processes for gas turbines and associated technologies.
