Experience with testing equipment such as load banks, multimeters, flash testers, and earth bond testers is essential. You should be capable of managing multiple projects simultaneously, setting up test rigs, and interpreting and reporting technical data using MS Word & Excel. Attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and project management abilities are key to success in this role.
