About the Role
We are looking for a practical and technically minded Physical Test Engineer to join our engineering team.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands‑on engineering, product testing and problem-solving within a real‑world manufacturing environment.
Working within a dedicated test facility, you will be responsible for preparing and carrying out physical product testing to validate performance, durability and safety.
You will play a key role in ensuring products meet required standards and continue to deliver reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
This is a hands‑on engineering position involving test preparation, equipment setup, data analysis and continuous improvement.
It is suited to someone who enjoys working with machinery, tools and test equipment rather than a purely office‑based engineering role.
Key Responsibilities
- Prepare test areas, fixtures and equipment ready for physical product testing.
- Carry out practical testing activities in line with defined procedures, standards and project requirements.
- Assemble, install and secure products and test components safely.
- Operate test equipment, measuring devices and specialist tools to collect accurate results.
- Record test data, maintain documentation and produce clear technical reports.
- Analyse test outcomes and communicate findings to engineering and project teams.
- Support the development and improvement of testing methods, processes and equipment.
- Work closely with R&D, product development and operational teams to support project delivery.
- Identify potential risks, delays or technical issues and help implement solutions.
- Assist with the maintenance and development of test facilities, equipment and infrastructure.
- Support technicians by providing guidance, training and day‑to‑day direction where required.
- Help manage test schedules, priorities and resources to ensure deadlines are achieved.
Skills & Experience Required
- Previous experience within physical product testing, validation, test engineering or a similar practical engineering environment.
- Strong mechanical understanding with experience assembling, preparing and testing physical products.
- Comfortable using hand tools, powered tools, measuring equipment and inspection devices.
- Experience working with technical documentation, test procedures and data reporting.
- Good understanding of health and safety practices within an engineering or manufacturing environment.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and work effectively in a fast‑paced setting.
- Strong problem‑solving skills with a proactive approach to improving processes.
- Confident communicator able to work with engineering, production and project teams.
- Technical Requirements
- Experience using Microsoft Office applications including Excel, Word, Teams and Outlook.
- Ability to interpret technical information and maintain accurate records.
- Experience working within quality management systems or ISO‑based environments is advantageous.
Desirable Experience
- Engineering qualification (degree, HNC/HND or equivalent practical experience).
- Knowledge of industrial testing standards such as PAS 13, UNI, ANSI MH31.2 or similar.
- Experience testing safety products, barrier systems or polymer‑based materials.
- Familiarity with specialist test equipment such as high‑speed cameras or advanced measurement systems.
