· 
Act as a Person in Charge when required

What you bring

You bring hands-on experience from a manufacturing or industrial test environment and enjoy solving practical technical problems. You are proactive, safety-focused, and ready to learn.

We’re particularly interested in candidates who have:

· 
Experience working in a test environment, ideally with electrical or high-voltage equipment

· 
A technical electrical qualification or equivalent practical training

· 
Knowledge of manufacturing test equipment, including automated test systems

· 
The ability to diagnose faults and support effective technical problem-solving

It would be helpful if you also have:

· 
Experience working with equipment up to 10kV or high-current low-voltage systems

Knowledge of high-voltage direct current product testing

If you don’t meet every preferred point but have relevant experience and the motivation to grow, we’d still like to hear from you.
