You

  • Good, broad, electronic engineering knowledge.
  • Engineering degree (or equivalent qualification) in relevant engineering discipline, with significant demonstrable experience.
  • Experience working collaboratively in multi-discipline teams to deliver activities on a range of project types.

  • Increase earning potential
  • Develop your skills
  • Be appreciated and valued
