Working as part of a team of experienced technicians and engineers, you'll carry out RF testing on a wide range of products and technologies, helping customers ensure their products meet the required standards.

You'll work within a modern test facility and will be involved in:

• Setting up, operating and monitoring RF test equipment.
• Monitoring equipment calibration status throughout testing.
• Working directly with customers during attended testing.
• Liaising closely with Project Managers to ensure testing is completed accurately and on time.
• Accurately recording and documenting test results.
• Providing clear handovers and communicating progress at the end of each shift.
• Working as part of a close-knit technical team operating a 24/7 testing service.

• Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technicians.
• Engineering graduates with some RF exposure.
• Junior RF/Test Engineers.
• Electronics Technicians.
• Candidates with practical engineering experience who have worked with test equipment.

You’ll ideally have:

• An NVQ Level 3 or equivalent in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, OR practical hands-on engineering experience.
• Some experience or exposure to RF testing or RF test equipment - this can include experience gained during a university degree.
• Familiarity with equipment such as spectrum analysers and/or oscilloscopes.
• Good IT skills, particularly Microsoft Word and Excel.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to accurately document results.
• Good communication and interpersonal skills.
• A conscientious, motivated and enthusiastic approach.
• The ability to work effectively as part of a technical team.
• The flexibility and willingness to work a 24/7 rotating shift pattern.
• Your own transport/access to the site, as public transport may not be available during some shift periods.

THE SHIFT PATTERN

The role operates on a 4 shifts on / 4 shifts off rotation, covering 24/7 testing.

You’ll rotate between:

9:45am - 10:15pm
and
9:45pm - 10:15am
Both shifts include a 30-minute break.

Don't worry if you haven't worked shifts before. Full initial training will be provided Monday-Friday, 8:30am-5:00pm before you move onto the permanent shift rotation.
