What you'll be doing:

  • Plan, run and report on structural product testing with precision and accuracy.

  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to bring innovative designs from concept to reality.

  • Ensure compliance with relevant EN standards, codes, and certification requirements.

  • Present findings and project updates to key stakeholders.

What we're looking for:

  • Degree (BEng/MEng or equivalent) in Structural, Civil, or Mechanical Engineering.

  • Strong theoretical grounding in structural mechanics and physics.

  • Practical experience with test equipment (e.g. data loggers, universal testing machines).

  • Skilled in FEA (ideally ANSYS), MS Excel, SolidWorks and AutoCAD.

  • Excellent data analysis, problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

  • Strong communicator with the ability to work collaboratively across teams.

  • Innovative mindset, with attention to detail and a passion for continuous improvement.

  • Full clean driving licence and willingness to travel when required.

Why join?
You'll be part of a forward-thinking R&D hub, working on high-impact projects that blend design, testing and innovation. This role offers variety, responsibility and the chance to make a real difference in product performance and development.
