Supporting continuous improvement of test methods, equipment and processes.
Building experience across multiple products and test facilities with structured mentoring and development.

We're particularly interested in candidates from:
Aerospace
Defence
Motorsport
Automotive
Test & Development
Armed Forces (REME, Royal Artillery, Ammunition Technical, Weapons Engineering, Aircraft Engineering, EOD and similar technical trades)

Work on genuinely unique engineering programmes.
Structured development with a clear pathway to Senior Trials Engineer.
Opportunity to gain specialist qualifications, including Range Safety Officer.
