    About the Role

    You will be responsible for providing technical support to colleagues, on all aspects, to enable CIC to meet customer and legislative requirements. This can include:

    • Physically preparing and constructing static and dynamic test rigs.
    • Performing mechanical workshop machining tasks, including welding, drilling and marking out of test pieces.
    • Performing electrical fittings such as soldering, wiring leads and cabling.
    • Be responsible for the procedures and tools for mechanical testing, including the operation of existing test machines, instrumentation and photographic equipment.
    • Carry out inspections, maintenance and repairs of existing rigs and tools, to ensure the laboratory is kept tidy and operational.
