We are also building a grid-scale demonstration unit of our energy storage system at our site just outside Edinburgh.

We are looking for a multiskilled mechanical technician to work on a wide range of these test rigs.

As is often the case in small companies, roles and responsibilities can be fluid, and the technician may be asked to take on other tasks. We value individuals who are willing to learn new skills and grow in their careers. Training will be provided where required.

Qualifications and Skills:

  • Work experience in a similar role.
  • Knowledge of mechanical workshop drawings and able to interpret these for parts inspection and assembly.
  • Experience of general workshop appliances e.g. sheet metal fabrication and hand tools.
  • Experience of maintenance and fault finding of equipment. Experience with assembly and maintenance of hydraulic machines would be advantageous.
  • Qualifications for operating telehandler/forklift/cherry picker or similar
  • Good understanding of health & safety in the workplace
  • Able to work effectively as an individual and as a member of a team.
  • Some manual handling will be involved requiring fitness and physical effort.

Remuneration
