  3. The role involves significant coordination and scheduling, managing multiple contractors working simultaneously in one area of the plant, with varying disciplines and time pressures.
  4. The successful candidate will deliver multiple systems onto the plant, including control systems and functional safety systems that control the process being set up.
  5. You must be a British passport holder and have resided in the UK for at least the last 5 years to undergo security clearance. Dual nationality is not permitted due to security requirements.
  6. Comfortable working in the defence sector.
  7. The management team promotes a healthy work-life balance, encouraging leaving the office by 4.30 pm daily, with 30 days holiday plus statutory holidays.
  8. The role is initially based on-site near Reading (3 days/week) and remote (2 days/week). Post-installation, regular trips to Staffordshire may be required.
  9. Up to 10% bonus, private healthcare (including family members after 6 months), and 2 days remote work per week.

The office/site work is accessible from Newbury, Reading, Basingstoke, Bracknell, and surrounding areas.
