Safety standards expertise: Deep, hands-on knowledge of product safety standards. Knowledge of playground or play equipment standards is highly regarded.

Technical drawing and CAD interpretation: Able to read mechanical drawings, CAD models and technical specifications to assess structural integrity, load paths and failure points.

Risk and hazard assessment: Proven experience in physical hazard analysis, head injury criterion (HIC) testing, entrapment testing and FMEA.

Testing and lab liaison: Experience coordinating third-party testing laboratories (e.g. TÜV, Intertek, SGS) for certification and compliance validation.

Manufacturing process knowledge: Moulding, metal fabrication, welding standards and powder coating, especially how they affect structural integrity, material safety and durability.

Quality management systems: Experience in an ISO 9001 environment, or leading root cause analysis (RCA) for factory quality or safety deviations.
