Overview

Our customer, a large defence organisation, is seeking an experienced Quality Manager / Reliability & Maintainability Engineer to provide specialist R&M engineering support to the Mobile Fires Platform (MFP) programme.

The role will provide subject matter expertise across the programme’s contracts, supporting the delivery of the RCH155 self-propelled howitzer capability. The work will focus on reliability, maintainability and dependability requirements, contractor assurance, technical evidence, risk management, testing and through-life support.

Team Context

The Mobile Fires Platform is a high-priority programme being delivered by the Combat Vehicles 1 Project Team. The RCH155 has been selected as the next-generation 155mm self-propelled howitzer capability, with the programme covering demonstrator, qualification and production activity.

Key Responsibilities

  • Review R&M documentation to support technical requirements, define technical deliverables and effects, and update documentation across multiple systems, including consideration of in-service support and the practicality of achieving required R&M levels.
  • Technically review and assess contractor-supplied R&M artefacts against contractual requirements and relevant standards.
  • Produce review reports identifying compliance, risks, issues and recommendations.
  • Support the development, maintenance and assurance of R&M Cases and supporting evidence.
  • Provide informed recommendations on the achievability of R&M requirements and through-life support assumptions.
  • Analyse contractor and trial-derived R&M data to assess achievement against contractual and design requirements.
  • Produce R&M performance reports, trend analyses and dashboards.
  • Identify reliability growth opportunities and supportability improvements.
  • Provide technical recommendations to inform design, support and acceptance decisions.
  • Assess contractor compliance with applicable R&M standards, policies and contractual obligations.
  • Identify, report and manage non-conformances and associated programme risks.
  • Provide technical advice on the impact of compliance shortfalls on performance, safety, supportability and certification activities.
  • Support engineering governance and assurance reviews.
  • Identify and manage R&M-related risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies.
  • Develop mitigation strategies and recovery plans for emerging R&M concerns.
  • Provide technical input to programme risk registers and governance forums, escalating significant R&M risks that may affect cost, schedule, performance or safety.
  • Support the planning, execution and assessment of R&M demonstration, verification and validation activities.
  • Review and assess trial and test evidence against agreed acceptance criteria.
  • Provide technical advice to support acceptance, certification and in-service decisions.
  • Identify shortfalls arising from trials and testing and recommend corrective actions.
  • Contribute to dependability performance reviews and Design Review activities.
  • Undertake root cause analysis of significant reliability and maintainability issues.
  • Identify and track corrective actions arising from design weaknesses.
  • Recommend improvements to reliability, maintainability, availability and through-life support performance.

  • Hybrid working, with approximately 2–3 days per week in the office anticipated.
  • Base location is Abbey Wood, Bristol.
  • Some travel to OEM locations will be required.
  • Travel may be required within the UK and EU.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
