Put simply, you will be the custodian of the programme baseline - ensuring there is a clear approved configuration, changes follow the correct governance process, and the programme can demonstrate what changed, why it changed and when it was approved. This reflects the role’s responsibility for maintaining configuration integrity throughout the project lifecycle., * Own and maintain the Configuration Management Plan.

• Manage configuration baselines, items and technical documentation.

You will have proven Configuration Management experience within a complex engineering environment, ideally defence, aerospace or a similarly regulated sector.

You should have strong knowledge of configuration and change-control principles, excellent stakeholder management skills and experience working across multidisciplinary teams.
