This role requires a strong foundation in engineering principles, excellent communication skills, and a passion for delivering products to world-class standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the introduction of new and existing products into production.
• Provide technical and quality support to manufacturing, production, and engineering teams.
• Optimise manufacturing processes and collaborate on process engineering improvements.
• Conduct risk analysis including DFMEA, hazard assessments, and root-cause investigations.
• Develop and document test plans, procedures, and operating instructions.
• Perform testing to verify product reliability and compliance.
• Accurately document design changes, test results, and assembly processes.

• Experience with ISO9001 quality systems (advantageous).
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a dynamic environment.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with a commitment to continuous improvement.
