Join a forward-thinking engineering team as a Configuration Controller, where you'll play a vital role in managing and maintaining configuration control across high-paced defence projects.

Key Responsibilities:

• Maintain accurate configuration item data to support reporting and audit readiness

• Ensure deliverables and documentation are fully under configuration control

• Proactive, organised, and committed to delivering excellence

• Strong collaborator with the ability to adapt and thrive in dynamic environments

This is a great opportunity to play a crucial part in the delivery of complex engineering programmes while driving continuous improvement in CM processes.
