About the role

Help ensure the products that protect lives perform exactly as they should.

We're looking for a Laboratory & Ballistic Range Officer to join our specialist testing team in Coventry. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the heart of product development and quality assurance, carrying out testing activities that support some of the world's most advanced armour and protection systems.

You'll thrive in this role if you're naturally methodical, safety-conscious, and enjoy practical, hands-on work. Working across laboratory and ballistic range environments, you'll play a vital role in validating product performance, supporting continuous improvement, and ensuring our products meet demanding customer, industry, and international standards. If you enjoy testing, problem-solving, and working in a role where accuracy truly matters, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Due to the nature of the work and the customers we support, this role is only open to UK Nationals who are eligible to obtain and maintain UK Security Clearance (SC). The role is physically active and includes regular manual handling, lifting, movement of test equipment and supporting activities within both laboratory and ballistic range environments.

At NP Aerospace, we know our success comes from our people. That’s why we invest in benefits that support your health, reward your hard work, and help you grow your career:

Performance rewards – discretionary bonus opportunities
Flex your day – flexible start and finish times (subject to manager approval and operational needs)
Time to recharge – 25 days’ holiday + 8 bank holidays, with the option to buy more through our Holiday Purchase Scheme

Grow with us – career development and advancement opportunities within a global business
Supportive environment – a team culture built on innovation, collaboration, and purpose

What you’ll be doing

In this role, you'll carry out a range of destructive and non-destructive testing activities on new and existing product lines, helping ensure our armour and protection systems meet stringent customer, contractual, and international standards. Your work will directly contribute to the performance, safety, and reliability of products used in demanding operational environments.

You'll support both development and production testing within the laboratory and ballistic range, gaining exposure to advanced testing methodologies while helping engineering and quality teams evaluate product performance. You'll compile accurate test reports that supports informed engineering and business decisions.

You'll work within our ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory environment, supporting compliance, maintaining testing standards, and contributing to the continual improvement of the Laboratory Management System. The role also provides the opportunity to interact with internal and external customers who witness testing activities, giving you exposure to customer-facing technical work.

Alongside testing activities, you'll support laboratory operations through equipment checks, housekeeping, maintenance activities, and the safe management of testing materials and consumables. You'll also support the safe handling and movement of test equipment, materials and products, making this a practical, hands-on role that combines technical testing with physical laboratory and range activities. Your attention to detail will help ensure the laboratory operates safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with quality standards.

What we’re looking for

We're looking for someone who combines strong attention to detail with a practical, safety-focused approach to testing and quality assurance. You'll ideally have:

UK National eligible to obtain and maintain UK Security Clearance (SC)

Desirable

Experience working within an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory
Understanding of measurement uncertainty and calibration principles
Experience supporting product testing, validation, or quality activities
Knowledge of Health & Safety and Environmental legislation
Previous experience within defence, engineering, manufacturing, or materials testing environments
