- Work closely with project Requirements Lead, Buildings & Infrastructure Requirements Lead, engineering teams and client stakeholders to ensure requirements are clear, traceable, and aligned.
- Apply a broader Systems Engineering to the project through a robust understanding of how requirements, interfaces, verification, validation, system decomposition, compliance, and stakeholder engagement support delivery.
- The project will require a presence at the client office in Derby on a regular basis (exact number of days per week to be confirmed) for the duration of the project, as well as ad-hoc presence at joint venture partner offices.
