I'm looking for a junior level ILS Engineer to join one of the worlds largest and most successful Aerospace & Defence organisations in Bristol.

As an ILS Engineer you will be working within a team responsible for influencing the operability and maintainability of the platform (naval ship), analysing systems and spatial design as well as the design, production, supply and maintenance of the support products required by the platform (naval ship) in service.

What you'll be doing:

  • Reviewing and analysing ship design data to produce ILS deliverables

  • Validating the work of other engineers within the team (peer review of RCM studies and PSTW reviews)
  • Liaising with the wider Support teams to ensure consistency in data/information
  • Working with Naval Ships design teams to validate design deliverables
  • Working across various disciplines to contribute to the production of quality support products including maintenance schedules, technical publications and spares
  • Producing technical reports to support analysis and derived maintenance
  • Assisting team engineers in the production and upkeep of processes and instructions to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the ILS/IPS outputs
  • Conducting Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) studies to create maintenance schedules
  • Conducting Pre-Set to Work (PSTW) reviews of RCM studies to incorporate engineering change and confirm suitability of derived maintenance

Essential Skills:

  • Good Knowledge of engineering principles and understanding of the ILS/IPS suite of disciplines
  • Knowledge and experience of either Electrical/Mechanical systems
  • The ability to identify and mitigate issues in the development of engineering solutions
  • Ability to read and analyse schematic diagrams and technical documentation and analyse technical problems and provide solutions within the digital environment

Desirable Skills:

  • Degree/HNC or equivalent experience in a relevant Engineering or Science based discipline
  • Experience of utilising databases and understanding configuration requirements
  • Knowledge in a Support environment that caters for military equipment
  • Familiar with production of support products such as maintenance schedules, technical documentation, FMECA and RCM. We will provide relevant training for any of the above desirables required for your role
  • Working knowledge of the principles of one or more of DefStan 00-25, 00-45, 00-600, JSP 886, BR1313 and DLF

This is a great opportunity for someone with 1-2 years experience as an ILS/IPS Engineer, to really step up in their career within Aerospace & Defence Engineering.

The salary is £40,000 to £42,500 plus an excellent benefits package and is a hybrid role of 2-3 days per week onsite (although there is flexibility on this).
