  • Delivering manufacturing support for the new equipment.
During manufacture, the engineers will be responsible for ensuring that all equipment being produced is in accordance with British regulations and has the required safety case validation to support this.Requests for change will be handled to ensure that the design intent is maintained through any deviation requests; Non-conformances will similarly be reviewed to ensure the continuity of baseline design requirements through the rectification of any issues.
