Job Title: Principal Engineer- Product Safety
Salary: up to £68,500 dependent upon experience
Location: Glasgow or Bristol
We currently have a vacancy to join one of the world’s leading, global defence, security and aerospace companies as a Principal Engineer- Product Safety. The role can be based in either Glasgow or Bristol and offers a hybrid working pattern with 2 days per week on site and 3 days remotely. This will be working a 37 hour week with a 1pm finish on Fridays.
The company works at the cutting edge of technology, creating more than 100 new inventions every year for customers in over 100 countries.
Joining the Product Safety team, you will be part of a project focusing on an unprecedented fleet renewal by the Royal Canadian Navy. As part of this project, you will be joining a small team of 11 Product Safety practitioners located across two sites. You may be working with others on a large complex programme or individually for one of many smaller programmes.
Accountability for the safety of the design solution rests with the Technical Authority. Your role is to support the Technical Authority in their decision making, create a plan of activities that will ensure that by working within the Product safety management framework, risks have been identified systematically and managed so far as is reasonably practicable. You will become exposed to a wide range of technical disciplines, be able to follow technical argument and be able to influence the integrity of the final product.
As a Principal Engineer working as part of the Product Safety Discipline but within the Programme Product Safety team, you will be responsible for leading on Hazard identification, Risk analysis and the development of the scheme of safety alongside subsystem Technical Authorities. You will provide engineering support and expertise to the Technical Authority, enabling them to create a safe product. You will be responsible for the creation of a safety case argument, built upon a foundation of assurance evidence and other artefacts. The overarching goal of the product safety team is to ensure that hazards are either eliminated or that risk is managed so far as is reasonably practicable. As Principal Engineer, you are expected to be both thought leader and facilitator in the achievement of this goal.
Main Responsibilities:
* Provide support to the Technical Authority teams with the management of the hazards, risks and associated mitigations and contribute to the development of the hazard log and the maturity of information contained within
* Responsible for product safety assessment against major subsystems or key complex technologies
* Verify the quality of submissions to the Hazard Log
* Organise and facilitate HAZIDs and review meetings and contribute to other HAZIDs when required
* Take the lead on all product safety activities associated with the equipment area allocated to them, potentially delegating, managing and reviewing the work of more junior engineers carrying out aspects of the scope
Benefits:
* Annual bonus
* Enhanced Pension scheme- up to 14% combined
* Flexible working pattern including working from home/ flexible start and finish times
* 25 holiday days plus bank holidays- 26 days after 5 years’ service/ 27 days after 10 years’ service
* Early finish on Fridays
* Shared Incentive Plan
* Employee Assistance Programme
* Cycle to Work Scheme
* Life Assurance (you and your spouse/ partner)- 6 x salary
* Ill Health Income Protection/ Private Medical Insurance- 50% of salary
About You:
* Knowledge of product safety management processes and techniques
* Experience of working in more than one phase of the Life Cycle Management (LCM) framework, with sufficient experience of the total LCM to enable a good understanding of adjacent phases and through life engineering issues
* Awareness of customer (Ship/ System Safety) standards such as:
* DSA-02
* JSP430
* Def. Stan 00-56
* Mil Std 882E
* BS EN 61508
You must be eligible to apply for SC clearance and, therefore, must hold a British passport and have lived and worked in the UK for the past 5 years
