• Plan and manage team capability, resourcing, and workload to meet project demands.
• Prepare cost estimates and support project budgeting activities.
• Support recruitment, development, and mentoring of the mechanical design team.
• Ensure effective coordination across engineering disciplines, manufacturing teams, subcontractors, and suppliers.
• Monitor, track, and report on engineering activities and deliverables.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Ability to manage competing priorities and deliver outcomes in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience in shipbuilding in the defence sector (highly desirable)
