This isn’t a standard technician role on a production line.
You’ll be working in a highly specialised engineering environment supporting advanced aerodynamic testing programmes for aerospace and defence applications.
The work is hands-on, varied and technical - involving the setup, operation and maintenance of complex test rigs, mechanical systems and specialist measurement equipment used in high-performance testing environments.
You’ll be part of a team preparing and operating large-scale test facilities, assembling models and rigs, troubleshooting issues, and helping ensure testing is delivered safely, accurately and on schedule.
The role combines:
* Mechanical assembly and rigging
* Facility operation and calibration
* Specialist instrumentation and measurement systems
* Continuous improvement of equipment and processes
What they’re looking for
* HNC/HND or equivalent background in Mechanical Engineering
* Hands‑on commercial experience working in a similar role
* Strong practical problem‑solving skills
* Someone who enjoys working in technical, team‑based environments
* Any exposure to equipment calibration, set up of monitoring equipment, model assembly for test
Experience in R&D, testing or highly engineered environments would be beneficial.
Must be eligible for UK Security Clearance.
