Your Experience

  • Tertiary qualifications in ILS or a Masters qualification. Chartered Professional Engineer (EA) preferred.

  • 15+ years of ILS experience, with 7+ years on Naval or Maritime Platforms.

  • Strong leadership, interpersonal, and communication skills, with the ability to lead technical teams effectively.

  • Demonstrated capacity for continuous improvement and strategic vision.

We’ll then provide a personalised experience for suitable applicants as we progress the selection and assessment process.

It’s easy to dismiss the perfect opportunity if you don’t see yourself as the perfect fit. If this role feels right – no matter your background or personal circumstances – please introduce yourself or join our community. We’re committed to supporting a diverse workplace, and that starts here.

We’re proud to be endorsed by WORK180 as an Employer for All Women, but we know there’s always more we can do. We’ll continue to foster industry partnerships, employee resource groups (ERGs) and development opportunities to make Thales a genuinely equitable employer, for everyone.
