  • Apply sound judgement when balancing cost, delivery and programme risk.
  • Track components through the full lifecycle from sourcing to build and programme close.

Who are we looking for?

What can we offer you?

  • An attractive salary which will grow in line with your ongoing development and impact
  • 25 days holiday (which increases with long service) with an opportunity to purchase up to 15 extra days
  • Enhanced family friendly policies (inlcuding enhanced maternity and paternity pay)
