Job Purpose:

• Experience with HV testing/diagnostics/maintenance (advantageous but not essential)
• Analytical mindset with attention to detail and a focus on Health and Safety
• Inquisitive problem-solver with the ability to travel occasionally, including overseas/offshore (experience an advantage)
• Valid passport and full UK driving license

What we can offer you:
• Salary: £35,000 - £40,000 DOE Flexibility on this salary if you’re from a HV Testing background
• Overtime: Generous payments for overtime worked
• Bonus: Company performance-based bonus
