Responsible to the Senior Project Manager for the production of Operating Documentation. In my role I

I was accountable to the Project Manager for the production of Operating Documentation and its
subsequent amendment, validation and verification. As part of the safety and quality assurance process I
was responsible to the head of safety and design assurance for documentation which my team produce in
order to operate all the systems onboard the latest nuclear submarine. I wrote the process and policy for
its generation and approval and I was responsible for chairing the committee which resolves issues and
endorses its distribution. I worked alongside the Ministry of Defence, liaising with Engineering, Design
