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.
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.
A rare chance to define engineering leadership at the frontier of autonomous maritime tech.
