Lead Engineer – Power Station Integration NOWOŚĆ

Opis stanowiska

In this context, we are looking for a Lead Engineer to join our Power Station Integration team to support the delivery of our generic design programme. Operating with a high degree of autonomy, you’ll lead a small team of engineers whilst remaining actively involved in the delivery of integration activities, shaping plant-level performance and influencing how our power station is designed and delivered.

What we’ll need you to do

We’ll need you to:

• Lead and manage a small team of engineers, providing technical direction, coaching and support to deliver high-quality outcomes.
• Plan, coordinate and deliver integration work packages, ensuring work is completed safely, on time and to the required quality standards.
• Own and deliver product-level aspects of the power station design to meet business and customer requirements.
• Manage key plant-level attributes such as net power output within your area of responsibility.
• Apply systems engineering methods to define how the full power station operates and performs.
• Elicit, define and decompose requirements, and ensure effective flow-down to lower-tier systems.
• Lead integration activities and work closely with multi-disciplinary teams to develop a coherent, aligned design.
• Drive and influence design decisions, including structured optioneering and trade-off studies.
• Identify, manage and resolve cross-system issues, risks and dependencies.
• Develop delivery plans, manage priorities and support effective utilisation of team resources.
• Support the development of engineers within the team through mentoring, coaching and performance development activities.

What you’ll bring

As you can see, this is a pivotal, high-impact role, and you’ll bring a strong systems mindset, leadership capability and the ability to drive delivery across complex engineering challenges, as well as:

• An engineering qualification or equivalent demonstrable experience within a relevant discipline.
• Strong experience in system or product-level design and integration, solving complex, cross-functional challenges.
• Experience leading engineering teams and delivering technical work packages, including planning, prioritisation and management of resources.
• We’ll ask about your experience of leading integration activities, managing requirements, and delivering technical work packages through others as well as directly.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills, with the ability to influence decisions across multiple engineering disciplines.
• In-depth understanding of systems engineering tools and techniques, with exposure to MBSE approaches (e.g. Capella) advantageous.
• Experience coaching and developing engineers, creating an environment where individuals and teams can perform at their best.

Location

This role offers hybrid and flexible working. Regular attendance will be expected at Derby, Manchester or Warrington, aligned to programme delivery, collaboration and stakeholder needs.
