What you'll do
Technical standard -You define best practice, consistently pick the right: solution, and coach the team to the same bar
Manage Risk -You see it before it happens, put the mitigation in place, and check it held
Unsolved problems -When something stalls between teams or falls outside: anyone's process, you take it, unasked, and bring others up as you go
Planning -Department level plans, work distributed across the team, and the: new processes and equipment that make the next engine faster than the last
Judgement -You're the technical tiebreaker. The deciding argument is always what's best for the company
The people around you: You run meetings that go somewhere, convey technical information concisely enough to change direction, and deputise for the lead when needed

- + year’s industry experience and an engineering degree.
- Deep manufacturing and production understanding.
- Experience taking a product from development into rate production.
- Proven ability to technically steer a team across multiple engineering: projects, concept through to operation, not one project, several.
