The Defence Business Unit is responsible for developing and delivering business across the whole range of Defence-related work-streams, including Ships, Submarines, Land Systems and Air/Land and Joint projects.

The role will involve engagement with clients and Frazer-Nash Business Managers to deliver projects, identify future opportunities, develop enquiries and bids and winning the work.
The successful candidate will have a fundamental understanding of the systems engineering processes, requirements elicitation and management and acceptance principles, as well as experience of applying these skills within a complex technical environment. They will have experience of, and be interested in, developing business such that contract opportunities are identified, winning proposals are delivered and strong relationships are built with current and new clients.

- Good understanding of all aspects of the V-lifecycle, User Requirements, System Requirements, interface management and verification & validation.
- Evidence of experience in elicitation and management of User and System Requirements, and associated Acceptance/V&V, within complex engineering projects.
- The use of Model Based Systems Engineering techniques in support of requirements development.
