About the role

As a Hydraulic / Pneumatic Test Technician, you'll take ownership of testing and fault diagnosis across a range of hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical components, ensuring all work meets strict regulatory and customer requirements. Working from engineering drawings, specifications and detailed work instructions, you'll carry out complex testing activities, interpret results and ensure full traceability throughout. You'll be relied upon as a technical expert within the team, supporting fault finding, strip-down and repair activities, as well as contributing to Engineering and Quality investigations. You'll play an important role in resolving technical issues, improving processes and ensuring high standards of workmanship across the function.

You'll have proven experience in testing, fault diagnosis and working to tight tolerances, with a strong focus on quality, accuracy and traceability. Your attention to detail will be second nature, and you'll be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift.
