This is a unique opportunity to work within our internationally accredited laboratory, supporting the compliance activities that enable Tait products to be sold across global markets. Working closely with engineers, product development teams, external test laboratories, and regulatory bodies, you will help coordinate compliance programmes and ensure testing, certification, and documentation activities are delivered efficiently and accurately. The role combines project coordination, compliance administration, stakeholder management, and technical documentation, making it ideal for someone who enjoys working across multiple projects while utilising your expertise in radio communications compliance.

About You

You are a motivated coordinator and strong administrator who enjoys working in a technical environment.

• A collaborative working style and ability to build relationships across all levels of an organisation.
• A strong commitment to producing accurate, high‑quality work.
• A tertiary qualification in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related technical discipline is preferred although relevant work experience will also be considered.
