Ensure compliance with applicable electrical regulations, safety standards, and defence requirements.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, project managers, suppliers, and customers to deliver integrated solutions.
Support continuous improvement initiatives, engineering best practice, and innovation activities.
Mentor and support junior engineers and technicians.
Contribute technical expertise to bids, proposals, and future capability development activities where required.

Experience working within project-based engineering environments.
Experience within the defence sector and familiarity with secure or mission-critical systems is highly desirable.

Skills & Abilities

Strong technical and analytical problem-solving capability.
Excellent communication skills with the ability to engage with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Ability to manage multiple priorities and support project delivery deadlines.
Strong attention to detail and commitment to engineering quality.
Collaborative approach with the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
Proactive mindset with a focus on continuous improvement and innovation.
Comfortable operating within fast-paced and evolving environments.
