DE&S who are part of the MOD are currently recruiting for an Engineering Manager on a permanent basis based out in Bristol AbbeyWood. This role is on a level 2 basis and is paying up to GBP33k + Gov scheme pension + package.

The force behind the armed forces, DE&S is a highly specialised, arms-length body of the Ministry of Defence, operating with a budget of GBP178 billion over the next 10 years. From the procurement of fighter jets and aircraft carriers to the provision of food and clothes, we ensure the armed forces have the equipment and support they need to carry out their operations at home and abroad. We employ over 11,000 talented Civil Servants and military personnel (supported by contractors from the private sector) across more than 150 locations around the world.

When you join the Function as an Engineering Manager or Technical Specialist you will be using your engineering skills as a member of a team of professionals who are immensely proud to deliver and support some of the UK's largest, technically challenging and most important engineering projects. You will support and may lead on technical problem solving, coupled with appropriate management planning abilities to resolve complex engineering problems. You will typically support the definition of technical requirements, manage solution development and ensure compliance with the customers' requirements. You will use and grow your skills and subject matter knowledge to help DE&S ensure that the armed forces can operate in the most demanding environments. At this level, your role may also encompass elements of planning, performance reporting, and the development of its people. For this campaign our vacancies are within the Air Domain.

You will be working in one of a number of different teams that procure, support, operationally enhance and keep airworthy / safe a wide range of aircraft platforms, systems and role equipment spanning Combat Air (latest and future generations of Fast Jets, Unmanned Systems and Training Aircraft and gliders), Air Support (Air Surveillance, Intelligence-gathering, Air Transport and Air to Air Refuelling aircraft, Simulator training systems, military parachuting and airdrop systems and complex Air role, ground and commodity equipment) and Helicopters (Attack, Transport, Naval Anti-Submarine and Air Surveillance and light helicopter platforms). Much of this work is in the European and US sphere.

Your principal area of interest is likely to be one of the following: general aircraft systems including propulsion and structures, aircraft certification, avionics and software engineering.

If you feel you have transferable skillsets within the Engineering Manager role in general within other domains other than Air then I would encourage still sending in an application to discuss.

The salary is between GBP19,000 - GBP33,000 per annum.
