Job Description
The opportunity
At Leonardo in Edinburgh, we are looking for strong technical leaders to join and lead our most critical and challenging projects.
Project Engineering Leads are critical to the success of our projects. They plan, predict, lead and adapt engineering activities to make product delivery successful. They are responsible for not just delivering to quality, time and budget, but to also for creating a supportive environment that motivates our world-class engineers.
If you are an experienced technical leader, we will offer you a challenging and rewarding opportunity to apply your leadership and management skills across a wide range of projects. You will quickly develop an understanding of our technology and processes and work closely with our engineers and managers to ensure we continue to deliver at pace.
Our projects are complex. Our workplace is diverse. This requires our leaders to have high attention to detail, to maintain focus, and to respond in an adaptive way to changes as they arise.
What You’ll Do As a Project Engineering Lead
We are looking for a Project Engineering Lead to join our Antenna Group project. This project is high profile, complex, and fast moving. It requires a skilled leader and experienced systems engineer in order to ensure the project teams supported and remain focused on delivery.
Role And Responsibilities
The Antenna Group at Leonardo Edinburgh, comprises of about 16 Engineers split into a number of teams that support antenna design, production support and antenna measurements. With the growing workload within the team, there is a need for a Project Engineering Lead (PEL) to oversee work progress, forward loading, bids, etc. within the Antenna Group.
The Antenna PEL will be responsible for the collation of forward load information, arranging the provision of technical work estimates from the appropriate technical experts within the Antenna Group and supplying that information to projects. The PEL will be the interface between the Antenna Group Engineers and Project/IPT/CDT counterparts. This role will be supported by a project technical lead from within the Antenna Group. The PEL should be familiar with the forward load expected from each project/IPT or CDT and may be expected to attend project or IPT planning meetings.
The Antenna PEL will liaise with the Compact Antenna Test Range (CATR) team to help schedule the workload within the CATR measurement facilities and will attend the weekly CATR Range planning meeting to help in this regard.
The PEL will report directly to the Antenna Group Leader. The PEL will be responsible for resolving any resourcing or facility clashes at the local level and, where appropriate, will seek advice from the Antenna Group Leader on such resolutions.
As the Antenna PEL, you will need to oversee progress on all Antenna Group work and with support from the Antenna Group Leader, you will be jointly responsible for ensuring that all Leonardo design processes are followed, and adequate peer and life-cycle reviews are carried out on all Antenna Group work packages.
You will work closely within multidisciplinary integrated project teams to understand their needs and to help in organising technical support in the design and development of RF antenna solutions to unique and challenging problems.
You will be self-motivated, able to take the initiative in team discussions, be an effective team player and have efficient time management skills enabling you to work well either as part of a team or on your own. You must be a well-organised individual with a track record of working on multiple projects simultaneously, with the ability to retain information pertinent to each project and provide information without delay.
Along with the Antenna Group engineers, you will support the design of novel antenna solutions within the team and will be responsible for ensuring the appropriate resources are available to project to complete the task required to deliver those solutions. In addition, it would be useful if you had a general experience of providing technical support to manufacture or involvement in test, calibration and validation activities.
The role of the Antenna PEL will involve working with internal and external customers. You should be comfortable presenting your work, ideas or plans through either written reports or oral presentations.
The majority of the role will be of an organisational or managerial nature, however knowledge of antenna design principles relevant to X-Band radar applications, and an understanding of radar systems, their operation and function in general would be desirable.
What We Need From You
You must have a track record in Project Management activities such as
Security Clearance
You must be eligible for full security clearance and access to UK-caveated and ITAR controlled information. For more information and guidance, please visit https //www.gov.uk/government/publications/united-kingdom-security-vetting-clearance-levels
