Job Description
Testing & Development Technician
Basingstoke | Onsite | Full-time
£30,000
We’re supporting a product-led manufacturer as they expand their Product Development & Testing team and are looking to hire a Testing & Development Technician.
This is a hands-on, onsite role suited to someone who enjoys working with physical products, testing data, and practical problem-solving. You’ll be involved in testing both existing and new products, supporting quality activities, and generating data-driven insights that feed directly into product decisions.
What you’ll be doing
* Carrying out qualitative and quantitative testing on physical products
* Measuring performance over time and analysing results
* Using Excel to calculate percentages, variances, and trends, and create basic graphs
* Writing clear test reports with conclusions and recommendations
* Supporting quality assurance and incoming product checks
* Managing product samples, including reference (“golden”) samples
* Testing competitor products and supporting comparative analysis
* Assisting with 3D printing and prototyping activities
* Supporting general testing area organisation and upkeep
The role is varied and practical — flexibility and a willingness to learn are key.
What we’re looking for
* Hands-on experience in testing, quality, laboratory, or product environments
* Comfortable working with numbers and data (basic maths and Excel)
* Strong attention to detail and organisation
* A collaborative team player who communicates clearly
* Curious, proactive, and not afraid to ask questions or suggest improvements
You don’t need to know everything on day one — attitude, numeracy, and willingness to learn matter most.
Working pattern & benefits
* 37.5-hour working week
* 3-month probation period
* Flexible start and finish times, with scope to accommodate family commitments
* 24 days annual leave
* Yearly bonus
* Standard pension scheme
* Life insurance
This is a fully onsite role, reflecting the hands-on nature of the work.
Interview process
* Initial call with the team
* On-site interview
If you enjoy working with real products, data, and testing environments — and want a role where your work has visible impact — we’d love to hear from you.
