Job Description Summary As a Senior Test Engineer, you will be responsible for successfully coordinating the testing of High Voltage Power Transformers to verify compliance with customer requirements. You will lead and mentor less experienced team members, ensuring that all testing is conducted safely, accurately, and in accordance with national and international standards. This role requires strong expertise in designing test circuits and a proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement. You will operate in a hands-on environment, working on a variety of testing activities—from circuit design and switching operations to diagnostic testing and reporting—while also guiding the team towards technical excellence. Job Description ✅ Key Responsibilities: Lead and oversee the testing of Power Transformers, ensuring strict adherence to national and international standards. Design and plan test circuits, including schematic diagrams and switching operations. Mentor and guide less experienced engineers, ensuring they conduct tests safely and accurately. Collaborate with customer inspectors and auditors to demonstrate compliance with specifications. Identify and report equipment defects or non-conformances to the Test Manager. Always maintain a high safety standard, ensuring full compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations. Accurately record and review test results, ensuring all data is properly documented and filed. Use diagnostic testing methods to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues. Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and share knowledge across the team. Support the development of test engineers, fostering skill growth and technical competence. Ensure the effective use of historical test data and lessons learned when planning test circuits. Maintain and calibrate testing equipment in line with business strategies. The Person: Extensive experience in the electrical field, either in transformer testing or working around substations. Strong expertise in circuit design and the ability to lead and mentor others. HNC (or equivalent) in Electrical or Engineering discipline, or demonstrable practical experience. In-depth knowledge of testing procedures, switching operations, and substation configurations. Thorough understanding of Electrical Safety Rules and their application. Demonstrated ability to lead with confidence and authority in a testing environment. Hands-on experience with High Voltage and Power Transformer testing is highly desirable. ⚡ Important Considerations: Shift work required: Rotating shifts of 6 AM – 2 PM and 2 PM – 10 PM. Occasional overnight testing (over a 24-hour period) may be required in exceptional cases, with plenty of prior notice given. This is not a desk-based role. For example, one moment you could be connecting 400–800-amp cables to a transformer, and the next, you’ll be at the control desk, applying high voltage during testing. This variety offers a dynamic and engaging work environment, blending technical precision with hands-on tasks. Why Join Us? Be part of a dynamic team driving the future of renewable energy. Gain exposure to cutting-edge HV transformer testing technology. Develop and expand your skills in a hands-on, technical environment. Enjoy a collaborative workplace with opportunities for growth and continuous learning. Additional Information Relocation Assistance Provided: No
