• Working knowledge of low-voltage electrical systems.
• Experience with Model-Based Systems Engineering and other systems engineering approaches.

My client has a range of roles, and you will work on projects relating to national infrastructure and national defence, so some really complex, unique but exciting projects to work on. Also, their culture is excellent, with some true flexible working.

They are offering salaries starting at £35,000 for more junior candidates and up to £70,000 for more senior candidates, with additional benefits of 15% pension, private healthcare and at a senior level potential car allowance.
