Job Description

What success will look like for you, as a Test Technician?

As a Test Technician within our world-class Battery Facility , you will be responsible for carrying out the assembly of mechanical and electrical components to technical drawings or finding their own effective solutions to required tasks whilst still working to high quality standards.

You will be expected to ensure all appropriate paperwork or recording is completed and maintained (job cards, tech logs, tech library, ERP system entries… etc) supporting the continued development of our in-house expertise, specialist knowledge and capabilities.

What would we like you to bring.

We want you to be successful in your role, in order to achieve this, you will need to have proven experience working with and around HV batteries and battery testing. Additionally, you will need good skills / knowledge of wiring, crimping, soldering, as well as good working knowledge of electrical schematics and technical assembly drawings.
