The post-holder ensures capabilities are delivered safely, on time, to budget, and in accordance with quality, governance and assurance frameworks.

• Lead the planning, management, and delivery of capability transition in line with agreed milestones and the Integrated Test, Evaluation & Acceptance Plan (ITEAP).
