Core job scope

Compliance-by-design: Work with engineering and product development teams from concept stage so products are structurally sound and meet regulatory standards from the start.

Governance and enablement: Turn complex safety regulations into clear engineering requirements and design guidelines, and coach development teams on compliance best practice.

Standards monitoring: Review updates to relevant safety standards each year and write a summary of changed clauses and what they mean for current and future products.

Manufacturing partner liaison: Work with factory partners in Mainland China, including site visits as needed, to address safety and quality issues at the source.

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.
