The Opportunity
A newly formed robotics division within one of the world’s most ambitious ocean technology groups needs an engineering leader to build its technical backbone from day one, replacing a fragmented model with one unit owning every physical asset end to end.
The Impact You Will Have
- Build and lead a multidisciplinary engineering function, hardware, systems and software, across a hundreds-of-millions-pound delivery portfolio spanning yards on three continents.
- Set the engineering governance and operating model the business has never had.
- Own technical capability behind live, high-profile autonomous missions in demanding maritime environments.
- Build a growing engineering team and bench from the ground up, reporting into the division’s top leadership.
What Success Looks Like
- Genuine engineering credibility, forged in maritime, defence or another complex setting, someone who has built capability rather than inherited it.
- Comfort with ambiguity: no playbook exists yet, and the judgement to add structure without slowing delivery.
- The influence to bring senior stakeholders onto the same page without dictating from day one.
- A track record spanning international delivery.
What Is on Offer
- A newly created, board-visible leadership role at the heart of a rapidly scaling technology business.
- The chance to build an engineering organisation from a blank page, with full executive backing.
- Genuine influence over one of the largest autonomous maritime fleets in the world.
- Long-term upside as the role grows.
