This position offers the opportunity to take technical ownership of test activities, provide leadership to Test Fitters and Apprentices, and work closely with Engineering and Planning teams to ensure the highest standards of quality, safety and performance are achieved.

Accurately completing all route cards and Test Instruction Sheets (T.I.S.)
Supporting efficiency, quality and cost-reduction initiatives
Assisting in trials for new processes and improvements
Promoting and maintaining strong health & safety standards
Supporting apprentices and fitters with technical guidance

About You

You are technically capable, detail-oriented and motivated to deliver excellence. You enjoy working with minimal supervision, taking ownership of tasks while supporting those around you. You communicate effectively at all levels and thrive in a collaborative engineering environment.

You understand the importance of safety, quality and security particularly within defence environments and approach your work with professionalism and integrity.
