• Support planned outages and breakdown investigations, conducting fact-finding activities to identify technical issues, risks and suitable mitigations.
• Develop and apply testing protocols and procedures in line with industry standards, agreed work scopes and customer specifications.
• Analyse test results, produce clear technical reports and recommendations, and ensure reports are approved and issued through the appropriate systems.
• Discuss test and inspection findings with engineering teams, customers and other stakeholders, providing technical advice on generation machines.
• Manage technical work packages, emergent work and competing priorities while following Siemens Energy quality, continuous improvement and health, safety and environmental processes.

What You Bring

• An HNC/HND in an engineering discipline, or a recognised engineering apprenticeship.
• Practical experience of electrical diagnostic testing on generators, ideally with around five years of relevant technical experience.
• Strong knowledge of both hydrogen-cooled and air-cooled generators.
• Experience interpreting test data and producing detailed technical reports using relevant analysis and reporting tools.
• The ability to work independently at customer sites while collaborating effectively with engineering teams, customers and subcontractors.
• Strong organisational, communication and problem-solving skills, with flexibility to travel extensively in the UK and overseas.
