This makes the role broad rather than narrow, one person feeding into both the classic ILS elements and owning the data-led supportability activity that ties them together, applied consistently across the company's supported products rather than to a single system.Key Responsibilities:Supportability Engineering / DRACAS-FRACASDesign, implement and own the DRACAS/FRACAS process: data capture, triage, root cause analysis coordination, corrective action tracking and closure.Chair or support regular failure review boards with engineering, quality, and supply chain stakeholders.Maintain the DRACAS/FRACAS database or tool, ensuring data quality, consistency and traceability.Produce reliability metrics and trend analysis (MTBF, MTTR, failure rate by mode) for internal and customer reporting.Use failure data to drive and prioritise action across the other ILS elements below, so DRACAS findings don't sit unused.Maintenance Planning able to translate failure data into decisions for varied audiences (engineering, customer, supply chain, management).Good stakeholder management skills across engineering, supply chain and customer interfaces.Desirable:Familiarity with reliability engineering concepts (MTBF, Weibull analysis, FMEA/FMECA).Experience with FRACAS/RAM tooling (e.g. FavoWeb, RAM Commander, OPUS10, RELEX/Windchill Quality, or similar).Knowledge of configuration management and technical publication amendment processes.Relevant qualification in engineering, reliability, or ILS/supportability (e.g. IET, CQI, or equivalent).Security clearance eligibility.Key Relationships:Support Business ManagerDesign and engineering authoritySupply chain / procurementTechnical publications teamCustomer support and reliability representatives.What Success Looks Like:A functioning DRACAS/FRACAS process with clear data flow from incident to corrective action closure, actively driving decisions elsewhere in ILS.Spares holdings, maintenance plans and documentation kept current with real in-service failure experience rather than original design assumptions.Reduced repeat failures and improved system availability over time.A single, coherent support picture the customer can rely on.WHAT WE OFFER YOUWe want REUK to be the employer you chose to build your career with.
