The role will work closely with DE&S and will have occasional broader interaction with the UK Shipbuilding enterprise with some potential international aspects depending on the preferred solution.

Main responsibilities will include:

Support the drafting of the 'Operating Safety & Environmental Case Reports (SECRs) for FSS, T26, T31 and other DNA major platform and Defence Maritime Regulator (DMR) regulated programmes.
Track the production of and assist as required in all other ODH and Accountable Person documentation for FSS, T26, T31 and other DNA major platform and DMR regulated programmes.
