• Conducting EM environment site surveys and EMC installation inspections;
• Gathering EMC requirements, writing proposals, and defining scope of work for large projects;
• Supporting clients with EMC testing programs, preparing test plans, and witnessing testing as needed (note: this is not solely a Test Engineer role).

The person

This role combines consulting with practical, hands-on work. To succeed, you should be eager to tackle diverse challenging projects across multiple sectors, with high energy and excellent communication skills to engage clients effectively. Your client focus, technical expertise, and results-driven approach will help you meet project objectives. You will apply project management methodologies consistently, adapt well to changing circumstances, and take ownership of your work, delivering quality outcomes.

• Experience in delivering EMC management and control plans, and writing technical reports;
• Knowledge of EMC design guidelines (fixed installations), testing, and risk analysis;
