Job Description

As part of the role you could be involved in one of the two main areas of influence:
1. In service; providing engineering support and thought to Trafalgar, Astute and Vanguard Class submarines whilst at sea and alongside to enable an optimised maintenance package and through life cost.
2. Build; providing engineering support and thought to the Dreadnought Class submarines through the design and down selection process, to provide support to our customer and define the preferred support solution.

The main purpose of the role is to manage the Spatial Team in delivering spatial reviews to support the Dreadnought design and WBSI through life availability programme. You will provide guidance & leadership as appropriate to ensure spatial design issues and risks are clearly communicated and managed, both to internal and external stakeholders.

Furthermore as part of the role you will also be involved in the following;
* To manage the Spatial Team, to ensure that the various Spatial reviews and other Spatial outputs are delivered on time, to quality and within budget i.e. S4 reviews, RRCIL, MOD Spatial AA Reviews, FMAR.
* To ensure the team understand the concept of platform supportability, and how this is utilised to guide the BAES designers where change is necessary.
* To represent the WBSI management within external stakeholder meetings/reviews as the Spatial Supportability Lead.
* To raise/manage and disseminate spatial risks to the project.
* To train / develop new members of the team on the use of the 3D model / TC Visualisation.

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

* Use / understanding of 3D modelling ideally FORAN * Familiar with platform maintenance activities, i.e. ideally an ex-operator from a marine engineering background, and if possible a Cat A2 or dual Cat B minimum. * Good understanding of engineering practices and having had a high exposure to technical documentation, Def Stan, BRs, JSPs, etc. * Understanding of the basic elements of ILS to be able to comprehend how the BAES design will impact the platform through life supportability, and ultimately availability for CASD * Be able to communicate clearly using multiple methods to both internal & external stakeholders, i.e. Skype, Teams, Presentations and written reports. Lastly, you'll need to be adaptable to issues associated with spatial elements with a driven attitude to solution finding.
