With an ambitious pipeline of new equipment and test launches, you will join our Technical Services Group at an opportune time.

• Process Innovation: Contribute to fault diagnosis and administrative reporting to build long-term reliability and efficiency in customer operations.

Who You Are

You are an ambitious, motivated, and resilient field service professional who thrives in high-paced environments. You are a "big-picture" thinker, able to see how technical milestones fit into the fabric of our organizational strategy.

Your Technical Profile:

• Qualified: HNC/HND level or above in Electronics, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering. A relevant science subject is also desirable.

• Specialist Insight: Preferably, you will have experience in automated laboratory pathology systems and associated data management systems.

• Analytically Minded: Robust problem-solving skills with the ability to work comfortably with technical, scientific, and numeric data.

• Customer-Centric: Confident and collaborative, with the ability to build trust-based relationships in a complex matrix environment.
