This Lead role is to own and manage a team, many of whom are based in Singapore and UAE. Previous experience leading and managing is not essential so long as you are willing to learn! You must have a good understanding of robotics, sensors and safety standards.
This role is 9-5 but it may make sense to shift that one hour earlier to facilitate conversations with the team on their time zone. Predominantly you will be interacting with the Team Leads in the UK, so most of your role will be focused on dealing with 3 or 4 local people you will be able to build solid relationships with in person.
The role is on-site 5 days a week in Uxbridge. There will be some travel required to go to some sites abroad. This is likely to be two or three times a year and accommodation and travel will be paid.
