  • Performing mechanical workshop machining tasks, including welding, drilling and marking out of test pieces.
  • Performing electrical fittings such as soldering, wiring leads and cabling.
  • Be responsible for the procedures and tools for mechanical testing, including the operation of existing test machines, instrumentation and photographic equipment.
  • Carry out inspections, maintenance and repairs of existing rigs and tools, to ensure the laboratory is kept tidy and operational.

Flexible and positive attitude, willing to go that extra mile to meet deadlines is essential, as is attention to detail in terms of quality of work.
