Our teams consist of consultants, engineers, and operational experts based in several locations, primarily in France, the UK, the Middle East, and Asia. From consulting to operations, through engineering and project management, we address the global needs of all our customers, including ANSPs, industry players, and governments, enhancing the efficiency and safety of operations through nearly every significant change in the industry.

• At least five years of relevant experience in ATM or CNS/ATM safety engineering, safety assurance, safety management or safety assessment in a comparable role.

• Demonstrable experience delivering safety activities for ANS equipment, ATM systems or other complex safety-critical systems, preferably for an ANSP, aviation authority, system supplier or specialist consultancy.

• Practical experience facilitating safety workshops and developing or reviewing hazard logs, safety requirements, safety arguments and safety cases.

• Experience applying safety assessment techniques such as HAZID, FHA, PSSA, SSA, FMEA/FMECA, FTA, common-cause or common-mode analysis and structured risk assessment.

• Experience reviewing supplier safety documentation and assessing compliance, traceability, evidence quality and closure of safety actions.

• Working knowledge of ATC operations and the lifecycle of ATM system acquisition, design, integration, verification, transition, commissioning, operation and change.

• Experience in software safety assurance for ground-based CNS/ATM systems, including assurance-level allocation and lifecycle evidence, is strongly desirable.

• Experience with voice communication systems, VHF, surveillance, navigation, GBAS, digital or integrated towers, ATM centres, airspace change or safety-critical ICT architectures is advantageous.

• Experience working directly with clients and multidisciplinary, multicultural project teams. Previous consultancy experience is desirable.
