    strict adherence to national and international standards.

    • Design and plan test circuits, including schematic diagrams and switching operations.

    • Mentor and guide less experienced engineers, ensuring they conduct tests safely and accurately.

    • Collaborate with customer inspectors and auditors to demonstrate compliance with specifications.

    • Identify and report equipment defects or non-conformances to the Test Manager.

    • Always maintain a high safety standard, ensuring full compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations.

    • Accurately record and review test results, ensuring all data is properly documented and filed.

    • Use diagnostic testing methods to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues.

    • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and share knowledge across the team.

    • Support the development of test engineers, fostering skill growth and technical competence.

    • Ensure the effective use of historical test data and lessons learned when planning test circuits.

    • Maintain and calibrate testing equipment in line with business strategies.

    ? The Person:

    • Extensive experience in the electrical field, either in transformer testing or working around substations.

    • Strong expertise in circuit design and the ability to lead and mentor others.

    • HNC (or equivalent) in Electrical or Engineering discipline, or demonstrable practical experience.

    • In-depth knowledge of testing procedures, switching operations, and substation configurations.

    • Thorough understanding of Electrical Safety Rules and their application.

    • Demonstrated ability to lead with confidence and authority in a testing environment.

    • Hands-on experience with High Voltage and Power Transformer testing is highly desirable.

    ⚡ Important Considerations:

    • Shift work required: Rotating shifts of 6 AM - 2 PM and 2 PM - 10 PM.

    • Occasional overnight testing (over a 24-hour period) may be required in exceptional cases, with plenty of prior notice given.

For example, one moment you could be connecting 400-800-amp cables to a transformer, and the next, you'll be at the control desk, applying high voltage during testing. This variety offers a dynamic and engaging work environment, blending technical precision with hands-on tasks.
