The Technical Configuration team (3-4 peoples) ensures the optimisation of the technical activities by providing support to all engineering teams based in the Joint Design Office (JDO - located on HPC site) for the UK HPC EPR project. It ensures a strong link between the configuration management activities performed in the Edvance back-office and on the JDO.

The Technical configuration manager is responsible for or assist with several of the below listed activities depending on the job/project requirements and the job holder’s competences and experience:

• Configuration management (Design changes, open-points, interfaces)
  Being in charge of the Design Change Management by piloting and coordinating the technical aspects of the Configuration (Design changes/Open points/Referential) between the different internal and external stakeholders ensuring a consistent and optimised (challenges the technical impacts) design for the Project.
• Coordination of cross-functional technical issues:
  Ensuring the resolution of various cross-functional technical issues by coordinating multidisciplinary stakeholders.
  Participating where necessary in coordination meetings organised by the various parties involved in the project (modification committee, project decision meeting, etc.)
  Presenting and sharing progress, including KPI production, data analysis to support management and decision making
• Participation to different Project Committees:
  Committees can be the Technical Referential Committee, Change Management Boards, NI Risks & Opportunities Committee, …
  
  

Other activities:

• Carries out internal quality control: checks the consistency of the engineering deliverables
• Taking part in the management of experience feedback from previous projects
• Reports to the team manager on his/her activity
  
  

Work will be done closely with the Client and the Clients Tier 1 Contractor.

Acting under delegation of the JDO Technical Transverse Discipline Lead, the JDO Technical Configuration Manager may be responsible for:

• Looking over the consistency of the design modified by the JDO teams,
• Making sure that methods, referential, tools, process and delegated authority from the back-office teams are complied with,
• Looking over the interests of the Responsible Designer in the JDO on a daily basis, in particular with respect to topics such intellectual property and responsibility of the Responsible Designer further to modification of their design by the JDO teams.

The JDO Technical Configuration Manager should also be involved in the development strong relations with the different Back-Offices in Bristol/Paris/Tours
