Love solving technical problems and leading a team? This one's for you.
At Prime Light Group, we've spent 30+ years helping light up commercial and industrial buildings across the UK - from wireless lighting controls to emergency lighting solutions trusted by leading OEM manufacturers. Now we're looking for a hands-on Senior Test Technician to lead our product testing and technical verification function.
What you'll be doing
This is a role that blends hands-on technical work with real leadership. You'll:
- Lead the testing of emergency lighting products and electronic assemblies, ensuring everything meets electrical safety, performance and regulatory standards
- Manage and mentor a team of four Test Technicians — planning workloads, coaching, and driving testing accuracy
- Investigate product failures, run root cause analysis, and contribute to value engineering and product improvement projects
- Develop and maintain test procedures, work instructions and build sheets — and improve testing strategies through automation where it makes sense
- Work closely with our Technical, Production, Quality and Operations teams, and support customer technical enquiries and warranty investigations
