• Execute functional, system, integration and regression testing across applications, interfaces and environments.
• Record, investigate and retest defects, working with engineers to clarify behaviour and confirm resolution.
• Maintain test evidence, quality records and reporting while contributing to automation and process improvement.

About You You bring attention to detail, analytical thinking and a practical understanding of how systems behave across connected components. You can document evidence clearly and work constructively with engineers and stakeholders when outcomes differ from expectations. Essential

• Ability to derive test cases from requirements, designs and acceptance criteria.
• Experience executing tests, documenting results and managing defects through resolution.
• Knowledge of traceability, regression testing and quality assurance processes.
• Ability to investigate unexpected outcomes and communicate findings clearly.
• Experience using test management, defect tracking or requirements management tools.
