Your experience and judgement will support a team of engineers in the resolution of electrical issues and maintaining expenditure budget through financial control. Day to day, you’ll lead the development of the electrical strategy for the build hall, lead on line trails, and help facilitate the deployment of resource as business requirements arise. You’ll ensure training is in place for your team on all electrical changes to either tests systems or the product.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

You’ll need to have a sound understanding of shop floor quality system (eg. QBAY, Flags) paired with a proven track record in being able to analyse and construct trend charts and undertake data analysis. The role will require a level of self-sufficiency and experience in working with On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) tools and techniques (eg. Canalizer).
