This is a pure regulatory compliance role, focused on ensuring engineering products meet UK and international compliance standards. You will act as a key point of expertise for CE/UKCA marking and associated legislation, working across engineering teams, suppliers, and technical stakeholders to ensure full product conformity.

The role sits within a highly regulated Defence environment, supporting both new product development and in-service equipment.

• Review supplier documentation including technical files, declarations of conformity, bills of materials, and compliance reports
• Ensure products meet CE / UKCA marking requirements and associated legislation
• Assess compliance against relevant directives including EMC, Low Voltage, RoHS, and REACH
• Liaise with engineers, programme managers, and suppliers to resolve compliance gaps
• Support peer review of technical requirements, compliance matrices, and contract documentation
• Provide expert guidance on regulatory compliance to engineering teams
• Contribute to continuous improvement of compliance processes and governance
• Attend occasional supplier or stakeholder meetings

Key experience required

• Strong experience in product regulatory compliance (CE / UKCA marking essential)
• Background in electrical, electronic, or electro-mechanical engineering
• Experience working with regulated products in industries such as Defence, Aerospace, Maritime, Rail, or similar
• Working knowledge of key regulations including EMC, Low Voltage Directive, RoHS, and REACH
• Experience reviewing technical documentation and supplier compliance evidence

Experience of working in a defence or maritime engineering environment would be advantageous but is not essential.

This position operates a flexible working model and is predominantly remote, with adhoc travel to client sites (likely 1-2 days per week).
