The Roles

The role requires working within a small but growing dynamic unit at Steer Energy to complete a range of varied projects. As part of this group, the successful candidate will be involved in all stages of our projects from conception to delivery, including planning, researching, and developing concepts, engineering and/or preparing and carrying out testing and qualification.

  • Designing, building, adapting and using experimental equipment and products both in the laboratory and in the field
  • Supporting, and working with other team members to achieve project goals
  • Providing written and oral reporting of results in both a formal and informal setting
  • Field-trialling new products
  • Contributing to the safe running of the workshop and labs


Candidate Requirements

  • Mechanical Engineering degree (or similar) with cross-discipline experience
  • Demonstrable experience in delivering the core activities mentioned above to a high standard
  • Demonstrable experience in writing high-quality technical reports, risk assessments, method statements, and other customer-focused communications
  • Have the ability to make the right decisions to facilitate rapid project progress often with little or conflicting data.
  • Demonstrable experience in project management and leading multi-disciplinary teams
  • Hands-on practical skills in manufacturing prototypes and setting up experimental equipment
  • Strong numerical reasoning, written and verbal English skills
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, being able to communicate confidently at all levels in the company

To be considered for this role, you should be able to demonstrate that you can reflect Steer Energy’s core values:

  • Driven by technical excellence with strong attention to detail
  • Happy to work as a team, but confident in driving your own productivity
  • Always looking for opportunities for personal and professional improvement
  • Comfortable with challenges and able to express yourself constructively when challenged
  • Positive and proactive in your approach to achieving solutions, viewing being wrong as an opportunity to advance your knowledge


Benefits

By developing people who know their purpose and value, we avoid being a company that focuses purely on a spreadsheet or “the bottom line”.

  • A competitive salary that is commensurate with your experience and expertise
  • Clear career progression and opportunities for development
  • 25 days of holiday entitlement per year, plus 8 bank holidays
