 What Sets You Apart 

You're delivery-focused and take ownership-things don't slip on your watch
You're comfortable operating at pace without losing structure or control
You can challenge suppliers confidently while building strong relationships
You understand the pressure and precision required in engineering-led programmes
You make clear, timely decisions-balancing risk, cost and urgency
 How You'll Work 

High pace, high accountability  - you'll be trusted to deliver
 Structured but agile  - process-driven where it matters, flexible where it counts
 Collaborative  - working closely with engineering, manufacturing and programme teams
 Commercially sharp  - always looking for better value, stronger performance and reduced risk
