Join us and help power the energy transition

You play an important part in delivering innovative technology that supports a more sustainable energy future. As a Test Technician in our Grid Solutions manufacturing team in Stafford, you help ensure our high-voltage products are tested safely, accurately, and to the highest quality standards before they reach customers around the world.

This is a permanent, site-based, shift-based role where you work hands-on with advanced equipment, support critical manufacturing activity, and contribute to technologies that help strengthen and modernise power networks.

What you'll do

You carry out routine production testing of high-voltage direct current and related power products in line with manufacturing and project requirements.

You will also:

• Diagnose test failures and help identify faults down to component level
• Support test engineers and the wider manufacturing team to resolve technical issues quickly and effectively
• Carry out routine test-related processes and checks accurately
• Support the maintenance, calibration, and servicing of test equipment

• Act as a Person in Charge when required

We're particularly interested in candidates who have:

• Experience working in a test environment, ideally with electrical or high-voltage equipment
• A technical electrical qualification or equivalent practical training
• Knowledge of manufacturing test equipment, including automated test systems
• The ability to diagnose faults and support effective technical problem-solving
• A strong focus on quality, safety, and getting the job done right

It would be helpful if you also have:

• Experience working with equipment up to 10kV or high-current low-voltage systems
• Knowledge of high-voltage direct current product testing

If you don't meet every preferred point but have relevant experience and the motivation to grow, we'd still like to hear from you.
