Designs and manufactures power and propulsion systems for aerospace, marine, defence and energy sectors.
The position carries responsibility for health, safety and environment compliance, ensuring all manufacturing processes meet the Zero Harm programme. You will also safeguard product safety by guaranteeing that processes achieve and sustain design intent and that supplier products conform to specifications. Quality stewardship involves fostering a zero‑defect culture, collaborating across functions to reduce risk and achieve right‑first‑time outcomes, and adhering to company, legislative and technical standards such as RRMS, SABRe, export control and intellectual property requirements. Continuous improvement duties include reviewing component manufacturing sequencing, confirming appropriate testing throughout the cycle, and driving processes toward consistent best practice together with manufacturing engineering leaders. As the technical authority for NDT, you will maintain control over NDT activities in line with procedural and customer specifications.
Key duties involve writing NDT inspection instructions, declaring any process limitations, and approving NDT procedures and work instructions for technical adequacy. You will review Component Inspection Manuals and Overhaul Process Manuals for content and capability, maintain approvals for NDT inspectors—including annual appraisals, five‑year re‑approvals, performance monitoring and vision requirements per RRP58000—and conduct practical and written examinations after receiving delegation. Internal NDT audits will be performed in accordance with quality requirements such as NUCAP.
The role requires NDT Level 3 certification in Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) and Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI), with Level 3 proficiency in Eddy Current Inspection mandatory. Level 3 qualification in Ultrasonic Inspection and X‑Ray Inspection are considered advantageous.
A professionally qualified engineer is essential, with at least an HND/foundation degree or equivalent national qualification. Where available, recognized national or international engineering accreditation such as IEng or CEng is desirable.
