What You’ll Be Doing

In this role, you’ll lead and coordinate the Turnkey CSA team to deliver engineering support for the HPC Project within the HPC Technical Directorate. Your mission is to ensure the HPC design not only meets the highest professional standards but also fully complies with UK regulations and context.

You will formulate the Turnkey CSA oversight and surveillance principles, working with multiple programmes across HPC, then refine this to each specific contract, collaborating with each supplier to understand their configuration management processes and complementing them with HPC requirements. You will build a team to deliver the oversight and surveillance activities as noted above.

As the primary contact within HPC for Turnkey contract configuration topics, you will serve as the technical liaison for Engineering Managers and Design Entities on configuration management topics. You will lead the team in executing all activities with strict adherence to site license requirements, statutory regulations, company and local directives, procedures, and safety rules. Additionally, you will ensure team members are regularly appraised, trained, and developed to meet evolving business needs and oversee the maintenance and accuracy of the Plant Configuration Registers and List of Applicable Documents across all Turnkey contracts.

Who You Are

To excel in this role, we’re looking for you to have a solid understanding of analysis tools and methods and know how to apply them effectively. Experience in process development is key, along with a good grasp of quality arrangements. You’ll need to be proactive in resolving Configuration Management issues, analysing data, and highlighting relevant concerns. Your ability to extract and compile data from various sources, maintain accurate and timely records, and identify opportunities for improving procedures, processes, and systems will be essential to your success in this role.

A degree in a relevant science or engineering field, or a strong technical background, is preferred. HPC context and understanding is desirable. ICM CM2 certification or an equivalent qualification or experience is highly desirable. Experience in managing engineering documentation, including Redline Drawings and Work Pack management, is also important. Strong knowledge of project management, along with exceptional organisational and coordination skills, excellent communication skills, and confident decision-making abilities are essential. You should also be able to travel to multiple office locations.
