These properties, often referred to as 'rigs', typically consist of a painted body shell equipped only with the parts necessary for a specific test, rather than a fully assembled vehicle, and a number of supporting 'kits' of parts. For some of the new models currently in development we're also planning, building and managing a large number of Instrument Panels & Floor Consoles (IP&Cs) assemblies to support development and sign-off testing. You will be leading the activities relating to these IP&C properties.
