Summary
The ISS Team requires three Engineering Managers:
As a C2/Higher Executive Officer (HEO) you will take responsibility to deliver engineering and engineering project outputs as assigned by your C1/Senior Executive Officer (SEO); following an initial probationary period and assessment as a practitioner, you will be empowered to make collaborative evidence-based engineering judgements balanced against the wider context of personnel and system safety, programme risk and operational requirement.
Hybrid and flexible working can be considered for these posts but will need regular workplace attendance due to security constraints. Candidates are encouraged to discuss options with the recruiting line manager before applying.
