Where applicable, you will work with colleagues in the same functional role to deliver the corporate objectives of the MTC and ensure alignment and effective delivery of functional strategies.
You will be required to collaborate closely with colleagues in the same management team to deliver the objectives of the business unit or large project. This requires an ability to influence people outside your line management in order to drive the best result for the MTC holistically and not just for a small element of the company.

Ideally, experience in implementing or maintaining engineering policy, practices, frameworks or standards within an organisation, with an eye for continuous improvement and challenging the status quo.
