• Valid UK driving licence with confidence in subjective vehicle attribute assessments
• Working knowledge of plant attributes such as Squeak & Rattle, Wind Noise, and Water Test procedures
• Familiarity with NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness) development, vehicle testing, or component development
• Understanding of vehicle launch processes and quality control in OEM environments
• Able to interpret measurement data and make recommendations for continuous improvement

Additional Information

• Flexibility to travel between sites is required
• Role is on-site, supporting production directly with some cross-functional interaction
• Ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on work in fast-paced environments and problem-solving on live production issues
