We strive to support a working pattern that aligns with your lifestyle and helps you achieve your goals.

An exciting opportunity has emerged for a Senior Engineering Manager within Thales Optronics and Missile Electronics (OME). The selected candidate will initially serve as a Senior Engineering Manager in the Sea division.

This position will be integral to one of the largest development and production initiatives within OME. You will be part of the leadership team for a substantial delivery group focused on specific development and support projects within the Sea division.

As a Senior Engineering Manager, you will collaborate closely with the overall Programme Director, Senior Programme Managers, and the Head of Engineering Delivery to steer the design and development process through to qualification and acceptance for development and production projects within OME and the Sea division.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Forming and leading high-performing, multi-disciplinary engineering teams to develop engineering solutions that fulfill customer requirements.
  • Creating a strategy to ensure the delivery of all engineering aspects of the program while adhering to the necessary governance within the organization.
  • Partnering with the Programme Manager to outline the organizational structure and work breakdown necessary to meet customer expectations.
  • Establishing project-specific processes, practices, and tools to ensure successful delivery.
  • Defining the engineering team's work packages, including resource requirements, budget allocations, risks, assumptions, and timelines for delivery.
  • Planning and prioritizing activities to ensure compliance with contract schedules, costs, and quality standards.
  • Managing the day-to-day activities of the engineering team, proactively addressing issues, opportunities, and risks.
  • Monitoring and reporting on engineering efficiency for the project.
  • Identifying opportunities for reuse across the project.
  • Aligning the project-defined solution with the Product Roadmap.
  • Acting as the People Manager for the engineering team on the project and providing feedback during the people manager reviews with functional discipline leads.

The ideal candidate will possess a robust background in engineering and engineering management on large-scale programs, with proven experience in successfully defining and leading the delivery of multi-disciplinary engineering projects. A strong customer focus, excellent communication skills, and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment with multiple concurrent objectives are essential. Familiarity with naval products would be advantageous for this role.

The successful candidate will demonstrate the following qualities, aligned with the Thales Leadership Behavioral Model:

  • Agility in ensuring that business objectives remain a priority.
  • Ability to navigate multiple complexities to achieve business goals.
  • Engagement with stakeholders to work towards a shared objective.
  • Creation of competitive advantages through risk management, opportunity identification, and fostering continuous improvement.
  • Support for the development of others to ensure ongoing improvement for our customers.

This role will closely collaborate with the Programme Manager and the Project Design Authority (PDA) for specific projects and will report to the Head of Engineering Delivery.
