We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis (e.g. job share), despite the position being advertised as full-time.
As an Engineering Technician within the Energy Innovation Centre (EIC) at WMG, you will support the delivery of a wide range of research, teaching and industry-focused projects across laboratory and workshop environments. You will play a key role in ensuring facilities, equipment and experimental activities are operated safely, efficiently and to a high technical standard.
Working closely with academics, researchers, students and external partners, you will provide hands-on technical expertise to support the setup, operation, maintenance and continuous improvement of equipment and systems. You will contribute to the successful delivery of project objectives within the EIC, supporting activities aligned to electrification, energy storage and advanced manufacturing.
In addition to core technical responsibilities, you will bring specialist expertise in battery materials processing and controlled environments. You will support the operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of inert atmosphere equipment, ensuring environmental conditions are maintained for sensitive processes and supporting safe handling of materials and gases within these systems.
