Prepare staff correspondence to organizations internal and external q. Support officers at meetings and participate in design and program management reviews. r. Travel as necessary, by military aircraft if required, in accomplishment of the task. s. Undertake other tasks within the jobholders’ experience and capabilities, as directed by the Commander.  Work Direction Work emanates from the Aeronautical Engineering Squadron Commander who will approve tasks and continually monitor performance on a daily basis Decision Making Authority The jobholder provides independent advice without any consultation with his/her Line Manager. The jobholder is in constant daily contact to provide them with a recognizable point of contact for aircraft structural engineering issues.  Planning/Organizing • The jobholder is required to project manage engineering modification projects. Consequently, a large proportion of time will be spent proactively planning and organizing resources to ensure tasks are completed to meet project timescales, which often are dependencies for other projects. • The jobholder must plan for the involvement of other agencies Responsive to inputs and requirements, both immediate and long term is essential demanding the highest quality in all cases. The jobholder must rationalize all inputs and coordinate outputs to achieve maximum cooperation and support.  Subordinates As an independent advisor, the jobholder occupies a digital post, but will directly lead teams of engineers and specialists as required by the task.  Report Preparation The jobholder will be required to produce engineering drawings, engineering reports, test plans and Time Compliance Technical Orders in detail from data which he will be responsible for defining and collecting. Verbal briefings and presentations on the above will be given to the Commander on a daily basis.  Safety Responsibilities The jobholder must comply with all safety directives and instructions.  Hardest Part of the Job • A great deal of the success achieved will be dictated by the relationships established with customers and ability to use initiative, engineering and management skills to satisfy requirements. Diplomacy, tact, flexibility and adaptability are required along with a flair for rapid and accurate appraisal of problems. The jobholder must always remain aware of the varied cultural and political nuances when dealing with customers from many nations. • The jobholder is required to create original designs for engineering solutions that demand imaginative innovation and extensive planning. • The jobholder is required to be flexible to deal with a wide range of problems with rapidly changing priorities emanating from a number of different sources. The jobholder is required to act under his/her own initiative, developing a sound understanding of requirements, which are often not fully defined. The jobholder must have excellent organizational qualities to meet these challenges.  Area and Type of Financial Impact • Although not a budget holder by providing advice on procurement and policy at a senior level the individual is responsible for ensuring the customer receives the most cost-effective support and value for money • The jobholder must be fully aware of the different Government to Government (Foreign Military Sales) and Direct Funding mechanisms for customer projects.  Qualifications Engineering Mechanical/ Degree Aeronautical Engineering in Structural Engineering or related discipline e.g. Mechanical/Aeronautical Engineering Master’s Degree or higher and Chartered Engineer status is desirable.  A minimum of 10 years of experience in aircraft structural design engineering.  Active Secret Clearance Experience a. Excellent knowledge of standard aircraft component, materials, composites, metals, fabrication practices, aviation hardware, integration and proper applications in design with a thorough understanding of the use and application of aircraft technical data. b. Possess knowledge of engineering principles used in stress analysis, 3D computer modelling and other analytical substantiation techniques. Experience utilizing CAD software and/or 3D modelling software with obvious and demonstratable proficiency. Experience in senior engineering management with a thorough knowledge of engineering authority processes. A working knowledge of international regulation and policy for military and civil aviation as well as International Trade in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Practical knowledge of workshop practices and procedures. c. A basic understanding of aircraft systems, their function and operation. d. A broad appreciation of military aircraft design with specific experience in the design and development of aircraft structural engineering projects. The aircraft structural applications will be the focus of knowledge for fatigue index analysis, structural integrity inspections modifications and updates, and engineering analysis of aircraft platforms. e. Able to develop and integrate concepts that involve requirements, design, prototyping, production, testing, training and logistics support in all phases of the weapon system life cycle, including all aspects of technical program that involve trade-off of performance, life-cycle cost, risk, producibility, supportability, testability and other engineering requirements. Possess knowledge of engineering principles used in stress analysis, 3D computer modelling and other analytical substantiation techniques. f. Good written and verbal communication skills in the English language. g. Strong leadership qualities with proven interpersonal and team working skills. h.
