The Project Manager (Technical) is a key delivery role within the PCE Office at Safran Electrical & Power UK. Rather than being permanently assigned to a single programme, PMs (Technical) are deployed flexibly across the portfolio by the Engineering Acceleration Manager — directed to where they are most needed at any given time, whether that is supporting an active development programme, managing a legacy or historic programme through to close-out, or contributing to PCE Office improvement initiatives. Tasked by the Senior Project Manager (SPM) of the assigned programme, the PM (Technical) takes ownership of defined Work Packages and is responsible for ensuring delivery within Quality, Cost, and Schedule (QCD) objectives. They serve as a core member of the Integrated Project Team (IPT), coordinating day-to-day project activities, managing risks, tracking actions, and maintaining project data in Safran’s project management tools. This role is designed both as a substantive delivery position and as a structured development pathway towards Senior Project Manager level. PMs (Technical) who demonstrate strong delivery capability and leadership potential will be supported to progress, with access to professional qualifications, mentoring, and cross-programme exposure. Key Responsibilities 1. Project Organisation & Structuration • Contribute to the development and maintenance of the full project breakdown structure in accordance with Safran One Safran project management standards, comprising: Product Breakdown Structure (PBS) — the complete breakdown of the product into systems, sub-systems, and components; Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) — the hierarchical breakdown of all tasks required to produce deliverables; Organisation Breakdown Structure (OBS) — defining Work Package ownership and team responsibilities; Resource Breakdown Structure (RBS) — identifying human and material resources by skill family; and Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS) — the financial framework aligned to Work Packages. • Ensure each Work Package is thoroughly described in terms of objectives, budget, and duration, and is linked to one or more deliverables. Each Work Package must have a single identified owner. • Support the development and maintenance of the Project Development Plan (PDP) — the reference document for the project specifying the development approach, management responsibilities, meeting rituals, decision-making process, and applicable standards (including APQP). Ensure the PDP is updated at each major project milestone (Master Engineering Review) and remains consistent with any higher-level programme plan. • Develop an initial cost estimate (NRC, RC) for the assigned project or Work Package in line with programme targets, using the Safran cost estimation methodology and consistent with the WBS and macro schedule. • Develop and maintain the Development Logic (DEVL) inputs for the project, including identification of Customer CTQs (Critical to Quality), Key Design Drivers (KDDs), project milestones, and project flowchart activities from project launch to entry into service and beyond. • Ensure all project documentation is established, approved, and maintained in accordance with Safran project management standards, the development lifecycle process, and applicable regulatory requirements. 2. Project Support & Delivery • Support the Senior Project Manager in day-to-day delivery of assigned projects, taking ownership of defined Work Packages, action logs, and milestone tracking. • Coordinate the project team and all WBS elements to ensure delivery within QCD objectives, escalating risks and issues to the SPM promptly and with recommended courses of action. • Participate in Integrated Project Team (IPT) meetings, capturing minutes, tracking actions, and following up with functional leads to drive closure. • Maintain schedule updates, risk register entries, and action tracking in Planiswa
