A few notes: I've kept salary and benefits non-specific since you'll want to set those yourself. The qualification names (C&G 2399, 2391, etc.) are commonly cited but worth confirming with your qualified staff before posting, as the relevant certifications do get updated. Want me to add a specific salary range, adjust the experience level, or tailor it more toward battery/EV work?
