Test Technician

You play an important part in delivering innovative technology that supports a more sustainable energy future. As a Test Technician in our Grid Solutions manufacturing team in Stafford, you help ensure our high-voltage products are tested safely, accurately, and to the highest quality standards before they reach customers around the world.
This is a permanent, site-based, shift-based role where you work hands-on with advanced equipment, support critical manufacturing activity, and contribute to technologies that help strengthen and modernise power networks.
What you'll do
You carry out routine production testing of high-voltage direct current and related power products in line with manufacturing and project requirements.
You will also:
Diagnose test failures and help identify faults down to component level
Support test engineers and the wider manufacturing team to resolve technical issues quickly and effectively
Carry out routine test-related processes and checks accurately
Support the maintenance, calibration, and servicing of test equipment
Assist with test equipment upgrades and product changeovers
Complete daily safety checks and maintain clear, accurate documentation
Follow safe working practices at all times and take an active role in creating a safe working environment
Act as a Person in Charge when required

You bring hands-on experience from a manufacturing or industrial test environment and enjoy solving practical technical problems. You are proactive, safety-focused, and ready to learn.
We're particularly interested in candidates who have:
Experience working in a test environment, ideally with electrical or high-voltage equipment
A technical electrical qualification or equivalent practical training
Knowledge of manufacturing test equipment, including automated test systems
The ability to diagnose faults and support effective technical problem-solving
A strong focus on quality, safety, and getting the job done right
Good communication skills and the confidence to work closely with colleagues across the site
Good written and spoken English
It would be helpful if you also have:
Experience working with equipment up to 10kV or high-current low-voltage systems
Knowledge of high-voltage direct current product testing
If you don't meet every preferred point but have relevant experience and the motivation to grow, we'd still like to hear from you.
