Let us introduce the role

We have hugely exciting challenges ahead at AWE as we invest in our next generation deterrent infrastructure. We are recruiting into the leadership team of our Capital Engineering function at AWE, which works in partnership to enable three significant delivery portfolios: firstly our Future Materials Campus, for new nuclear production facilities. Secondly, our Cross Conventional programme for new explosive, chemi-toxic and conventional production facilities. Finally, our Liabilities programme for the decommissioning, demolition and disposal of legacy production facilities and equipment including some site security projects.

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking a talented and people-focused Commissioning Management Team Leader to lead, coach and develop a large functional team of commissioning managers who are embedded across our diverse infrastructure delivery portfolios.

To be successful in the role you must be a highly proactive and adaptable engineering leader, with excellent people management and communication skills. As well as supporting and managing your team day to day, you will be transforming the way we work by embracing new tools and technologies, simplifying our ways of working and establishing best practice learning and development for the future. As a people leader, you will need to ensure that we attract, develop, and retain the workforce to meet the needs of our vital UK nuclear security mission.

Being degree qualified in a STEM-related subject would be great but if you don't have this, but do possess strong experience of working in a similar role, we'd love to receive an application from you. Having some or all of the following would be highly beneficial:

• Previously held a people management role
