We are seeking a Senior Manager – Engineering Integration (m/f/d) to lead the strategic, cross-disciplinary integration of engineering modification programmes and work out of Frimley, Dublin, Munich, or Hamburg. Reporting to the Director of Engineering for Commercial Modifications Europe, this role focuses on engineering content that is coherent, certifiable, customer-ready, and aligned with programme cost and schedule.

You will provide horizontal engineering leadership across electrical, structures, payloads, and related disciplines to ensure seamless, end-to-end engineering outcomes. You will also own the accuracy and credibility of engineering inputs into proposals and support near-term delivery and long-term business objectives with engineering robustness, safety and quality at the forefront.

Key Responsibilities

• Engineering Integration Leadership (Core)

  • Own end-to-end engineering integration across all disciplines; ensure data integrity, traceability, and timely conflict resolution.

  • Define and manage the engineering integration plan, interfaces, dependencies, and technical milestones; drive MBSE adoption and systems thinking.

  • Champion engineering discipline excellence, cross-discipline reconciliation, and seamless discipline handoffs.

• Engineering Proposals, Estimates & Governance

  • Own engineering inputs for bids, proposals, and statements of work (SoW); ensure technical feasibility, robustness, and competitive engineering propositions.

  • Align engineering plans with programme budget, risk appetite, and schedule; lead engineering governance reviews and sign-offs for technical content.

• Technical Risk & Assurance (Engineering Focus)

  • Identify, assess, and mitigate engineering-specific risks related to interfaces and certification; maintain proactive mitigation and evidence for assurance.

  • Develop engineering risk registers, mitigation strategies, and contingency options; justify certification decisions with engineering evidence.

• Customer & Regulatory Engagement (Engineering-Driven)

  • Represent the integrated engineering team in customer, programme, and executive forums; clearly articulate engineering commitments, risks, and trade-offs.

  • Build strategic relationships with suppliers, and customers to support certification and programme success.

• Compliance, Certification & Quality (Engineering Core)

  • Ensure all integrated engineering packages meet regulatory, certification, safety, and quality standards from an engineering perspective.

  • Lead engineering documentation governance, configuration management, change control, and evidence packages required for certification and customer acceptance.

• Team Leadership, Development & Engineering Excellence

  • Lead, mentor, and grow a team of integration engineers with an emphasis on engineering depth, credibility, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

  • Promote succession planning, targeted technical development, and structured cross-training to strengthen multi-disciplinary engineering capability.

• Continuous Improvement & Digital Engineering

  • Standardise engineering integration processes; drive digital engineering adoption to improve predictability and quality.

  • Lead engineering lessons-learned reviews, define engineering-specific metrics (KPIs), and champion lean initiatives to reduce non-value-added work.

  • Implement data-driven engineering decisions, dashboards, and predictive analytics to anticipate issues early.

• Financial & Resource Stewardship (Engineering Lens)

  • Optimise allocation of engineering resources (people, tools, facilities); manage cost-to-complete with engineering productivity in mind.

  • Support supplier engagement for external engineering contributions, ensuring alignment with engineering objectives and interfaces.

• Change Management & Adaptability (Engineering-Driven)

  • Lead impact analyses of changes to requirements or design on engineering deliverables; communicate technical implications to stakeholders.

  • Foster engineering adaptability to evolving customer needs and regulatory landscapes.

Integration Functional Excellence (core focus)

• Establish and drive a formalised integration capability across all engineering disciplines, ensuring consistency, repeatability, and measurable maturity.

• Define and promote engineering integration standards, processes, and best practices to deliver standardised, repeatable outcomes.

• Lead the development of industrialised templates, checklists, and evidence packages to streamline integration activities, reduce rework, and accelerate certification.

• Partner with Quality, Configuration Management, and Safety Compliance teams to embed engineering integrity and compliance into every integration activity.

• Facilitate cross-programme communities of practice for integration engineers to share learnings, success stories, and evolving best practices.

Required Qualifications

• Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, or Systems Engineering (or equivalent).

• Demonstrated engineering leadership with accountability for cross-disciplinary programmes.

• Proven track record in EASA Part 21J modification or certification projects (or equivalent aviation regulatory experience) with substantial engineering content.

• Strong experience in proposals, estimates, or programme governance with accountability for engineering scope accuracy and trade-offs.

• Exceptional ability to engage and influence customers, regulators, and senior leadership on engineering matters; outstanding engineering communication skills.

• Must have existing rights to work in either UK or Ireland or Germany

Preferred Qualifications

• Senior leadership experience with full accountability for programme outcomes, with a clear engineering lineage.

• Proven track record of implementing engineering process improvements, lean practices, and digitalisation with measurable impact.

• Certifications or hands-on experience in industry standards (e.g., DO-178C/DO-254, ARP4754A, ARP4761) and regulatory environments (EASA, FAA, etc.).

Experience & Capabilities

• International programme experience and multi-site or multi-customer exposure with strong engineering collaboration.

• Proven ability to lead, mentor, and develop high-performing engineering teams in complex environments.

• Data-driven mindset with the ability to translate engineering metrics into actionable improvement plans.

• Strong stakeholder management skills with a focus on engineering clarity and credibility.
