Mechanical Test Technician

This isn’t a standard technician role on a production line.

You’ll be working in a highly specialised engineering environment supporting advanced aerodynamic testing programmes for aerospace and defence applications.

The work is hands-on, varied and technical - involving the setup, operation and maintenance of complex test rigs, mechanical systems and specialist measurement equipment used in high-performance testing environments.

You’ll be part of a team preparing and operating large-scale test facilities, assembling models and rigs, troubleshooting issues, and helping ensure testing is delivered safely, accurately and on schedule.

The role combines:

• Mechanical assembly and rigging
• Facility operation and calibration
• Specialist instrumentation and measurement systems
• Continuous improvement of equipment and processes

• HNC/HND or equivalent background in Mechanical Engineering
• Hands‑on commercial experience working in a similar role
• Strong practical problem‑solving skills
• Someone who enjoys working in technical, team‑based environments
• Any exposure to equipment calibration, set up of monitoring equipment, model assembly for test

Experience in R&D, testing or highly engineered environments would be beneficial.

Must be eligible for UK Security Clearance.
