WORK HISTORY
Senior Project Manager - Autonomous Systems @L3Harris Technologies
Bristol, GB
Lead the delivery of engineering programmes focused on autonomous maritime vehicle capability within the defence sector, working across multidisciplinary engineering teams, suppliers, and customer organisations. My role sits at the intersection of programme leadership and technical project delivery, ensuring complex autonomous systems are developed, integrated, and delivered into operational environments. I work closely with systems, software, electrical, and mechanical engineering teams to translate technical development into structured delivery plans, managing risk, change, and programme performance.Through this work, I have developed strong experience in the autonomous systems and defence technology space, particularly in maritime autonomy programmes. I specialise in leading complex, technically challenging programmes where coordination across engineering disciplines and stakeholders is critical to successful delivery.

SKILLS
ABOUT TOBY NORRIS
I’m a project manager with experience in the defence and manufacturing sectors, where I’ve led cross-functional teams to deliver complex, high-stakes programmes. My track record includes achieving significant cost savings by reshaping plans, challenging assumptions, and ensuring accountability at every level.I take a hands-on leadership approach - close enough to understand the detail, but always focused on enabling people to perform at their best. Whether that means breaking down interdependent schedules, removing delivery blockers, or presenting clear options to senior stakeholders, I enjoy turning complexity into progress.Right now, I’m building on that foundation by exploring how technology (particularly AI) can unlock new efficiencies in project delivery. From automating reporting to developing smarter dashboards, I’m interested in how project managers can spend less time on admin and more time driving outcomes. My aim is to bridge proven delivery experience with the next wave of tools and practices, helping projects run faster, smarter, and more resiliently.
