• Background in aerospace, aviation, or defence systems
• Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) experience/qualification
• Knowledge of ATEX regulations
• Experience with high-voltage or 3-phase systems
• Calibration and control system integration skills
• Current SC clearance would be useful, or the ability to gain and hold such clearance

Why this role could be right for you

• Varied and hands-on engineering challenges; no two days are the same
• Chance to apply military engineering expertise to a civilian high-tech setting
• Supportive small-team environment with scope to learn and grow
• Flexible working hours (core 10am – 4pm, 37.5 hours per week)
