- Prepare clear reports and recommendations for senior management and relevant assurance or regulatory bodies.
- Develop team capability through coaching, knowledge sharing and the continuous improvement of safety processes.
About you
You will have significant experience in RAMS, systems safety or safety assurance within a complex, highly regulated engineering, transport, infrastructure, defence or similar environment. A recognised qualification in engineering, safety or a related discipline is required, together with substantial experience applying structured safety methodologies across the system lifecycle.
You should be familiar with relevant industry standards, risk management techniques and assurance principles, and be able to interpret complex technical information while maintaining a clear focus on operational outcomes.
