Strategic Goods Export Controller
Location: Hybrid – Across REUK’s offices in Newport, Isle of Wight and in Southampton
Salary: Salary dependent on experience/qualifications
The Company
Rheinmetall Electronics UK (REUK) is a defence supplier with an international customer base.
Job Summary
This role is responsible for the management and continuous improvement of the REUK Export Control Process, noting that a robust and mature process is already in place. As the company is going through a period of expansion and diversification, the job holder is required to create, maintain and collaborate on additional or new aspects to that process, supporting increasingly larger and more complex projects.
The Job holder will be fully supported by the Head of Marketing & Communications, who also fulfils the position of Export Control Manager.
REUK’s business includes dealing with defence mission equipment, defence enterprise level software, and significantly unique intellectual property, predominately in the land domain, for delivery predominately across Europe and USA. REUK designs and manufactures Military and Dual-Use goods, software and technology, and is the registered user of a range of UK Open General Export Licenses (OGEL) and from time to time, Standard Individual Export Licences (SIEL).
Example day to day tasks therefore include:
• Ensuring compliance with Export License Terms and Conditions in the delivery of goods and services;
• The support of demonstrations, evaluations, exhibitions overseas using both REUK property and 3rd party strategically controlled items;
• Recording the correct Export Control rating of existing and grading of new products;
• Regularly auditing and compiling internal and external reports as required.
REUK is also a wholly owned subsidiary of the Rheinmetall Group and is called upon to offer in-house expertise and comment on Division or even Group level export control topics, from a UK perspective from time to time. The post holder will be expected to assist, support and comment on these topics as and when they arise.
All of the above must be achieved within a lean business management environment, with efficient but robust processes and procedures embedded into the business, supporting cross-functional teams exporting goods, software and technology on a near daily basis. Moreover, it is necessary to preserve agility and flexibility in order to quickly accommodate ad-hoc or unforeseen export business demands.
