The
Configuration & Governance Engineer provides the execution-level governance, configuration control and documentation management required to support QTI's Training Governance Model, TSMS and Training Cell. The role ensures all courseware, technical documentation, training packages and safety artefacts are:
- Configuration-controlled and traceable
- Aligned with engineering changes and safety controls
- Structured for audit readiness (BAE Systems, TSMS, ISO, QAF EOMS)
- Compliant with TEMP, PROQ28102, SP21 and TEPIDFOIL principles.
- Prepared for migration to a dedicated Training Management System (TMS) in 2025/26
This role is critical to BAE Systems responsibilities as Design Authority for QTI training outputs.
Key Responsibilities:
Configuration Management & Courseware Governance:
- Maintain controlled baselines for all lesson plans, assessments, courseware, Training Cell packages and supporting materials.
- Administer courseware change control processes, including impact assessments, approvals, release notes and configuration status accounting.
- Ensure version control and document numbering align with TEMP, PROQ28102 and SP21.
- Maintain the single source of truth for training documentation on SharePoint.
TSMS, SHE & Product Safety Integration:
- Link hazard logs (HL-001 SHE, HL-002 Product Safety, HL-003 PSec) with training materials, operator/maintainer packages and procedures.
- Ensure hazard mitigations, emergency arrangements and SHE controls are reflected in courseware.
- Support TSMS evidence generation and audit readiness.
- Ensure training artefacts support safety arguments for devices, workshops and facilities.
Training Cell Standardisation & Competence Documentation:
- Develop and maintain standardised Training Cell operator and maintainer packages (courseware, manuals, logbooks, task sheets and assessments).
- Maintain controlled competency/training documentation for maintainers, operators and instructors.
- Ensure training materials align with engineering configuration and TSMS controls.
Engineering & Technical Documentation Control:
- Maintain configuration control of manuals, SSOWs, procedures and engineering-related training documentation.
- Track engineering changes, deviations and device modifications to ensure training content accuracy.
- Work with the Engineering Lead and SMEs to align technical and training documentation.
Digital Transformation & TMS Preparation:
- Develop structured SharePoint libraries and metadata standards to support TMS migration.
- Prepare configuration baselines and training artefacts for transition to the dedicated TMS.
- Ensure documentation governance supports long-term digital training delivery.
Audit, Compliance & Continuous Improvement:
- Maintain documentation and evidence for ISO, QAF EOMS, TSMS and BAE internal audits.
- Support TRRs by preparing configuration and TEPIDFOIL evidence packs.
- Identify and implement process improvements in governance, documentation and configuration control.
Key Interfaces:
- Tech Ops Manager
- Training Governance Lead
- Engineering Lead & Device SMEs
- SHE, Product Safety & Product Security staff
- Training Cell instructors and maintainers
- Procurement (as a downstream function, not a parent function)
- BAE UK governance and quality functions
- QAF (where appropriate)
Requirements
Essential Qualifications & Experience:
- Experience in configuration management, document control, engineering governance or quality assurance.
- Strong understanding of configuration and documentation control in a technical or safety-critical environment (defence/aerospace preferred).
- High competence in SharePoint and structured document libraries.
- Experience supporting ISO 9001, QMS or similar quality/safety frameworks.
- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
Desirable:
- Familiarity with BAE Systems governance.
