If you want to do work that matters, and play your part in helping to save countless lives across the globe – then working at Crowcon could be the place for you.

This role involves collaborating with a broad technical team to assure the functionality, integrity, and robustness of all new and existing gas detection products.

What will you be doing (after being trained appropriately)?

• Ability to work with own initiative and an inquisitive problem solving approach.
• Ability to use standard MS software packages.
• Personal drive to learn new skills.
• Strong attention to detail.

The most important quality the successful candidate will have is the desire to learn and to undertake a wide range of work-based challenges which will progress your technical engineering ability.

About you

• You are fiercely collaborative.
• You are culturally sensitive.
