Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom Fishbone Full time £25,000 - £40,000 per year

Due to continued growth, we're looking to strengthen our established team with a new Technical Administrator. The role is within our engineering department and will support with project management, design and assurance projects as well as helping to solve engineering challenges for our clients.

As a Technical Administrator at Fishbone, you will be responsible for managing a wide range of technical documentation updates related to transport assets (particularly on UK rolling stock) on behalf of our customers, identifying (where possible) a standard set of criteria to ensure that the requests meet relevant industry approvals requirements.

You will also provide wider technical administration support to the engineering team as required.

You will be given the flexibility to manage the delivery of your own work to the client and that of others within the Fishbone team to timescale, cost and quality requirements.

We're also keen to find someone who wants to work towards becoming a Project Manager or Project Engineer and we have a structured development plan in place to support with that.

Responsibilities/Accountabilities:

  • Work as an individual and as part of a team to deliver specific work packages to quality, time and budget.
  • Work with Fishbone management to understand ultimate objectives and desired outcomes for each assigned project.
  • Ensure that scope of work, timescales, and budgets are clear, monitored and managed, and that risks to delivering to quality, on time and within budget against acceptance criteria are anticipated and reported appropriately.
  • Provide wider technical administration support to the Fishbone engineering team as appropriate.

Qualifications required:

  • Engineering Degree qualified is preferred but demonstration of relevant equivalent experience will also be considered.

Technical expertise and skills required:

  • Ideally you will have some knowledge of different types of UK rolling stock including EMUs, DMUs, locomotives and coaches and their systems, but automotive and aerospace experience will also be considered.
  • Demonstration of project management/engineering/technical administration experience on rolling stock projects is preferred, but other engineering disciplines will also be considered.
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to organise large amounts of data and reports, and able interpret scrutiny requirements in the context of vehicle technical documentation or engineering change.
  • Fluent technical report writing.
  • A working knowledge of the UK rail industry is preferable.

Summary and benefits

There is a strong opportunity within Fishbone to develop new client relationships and build upon our well-regarded reputation. We're looking for candidates who have the drive and experience to help us achieve this.

We have adopted a flexible working policy of two days in our office in Derby and three days working from home. Travel may be required to client premises, so a full driving license is preferred.

  • We are an SME with a close-knit team where everybody plays a key role. We offer development and progression to staff at all levels and the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects and services.
