Senior Validation Technician

I'm working with an inkjet business in Cambridge to hire a Senior Technician, whose main responsibilities will be planning, setting up, and performing tests on various products to support internal projects and customer requirements.

The role focuses on ensuring thorough validation, following established procedures to generate accurate data within required timeframes. All test results must be well-documented and communicated to relevant stakeholders.

You will get extensive training to gain in-depth knowledge of company products and contribute to the development of new product testing activities, and also get to work with a number of different engineering teams at a time when the business is pulling resources together from their global counterparts to really accelerate their Cambridge site's growth!

Sounds interesting... What are some of the things I'd be doing each day?

• So firstly, you would be reporting into the team lead, focusing on developing test plans and executing them.
• Assisting in developing new testing methods and equipment.
• Helping to update and maintain department documentation.
• Provide training to colleagues when necessary.
• Offer support to customers as required.
• Promote process improvements and ensure compliance with safety standards.
  
  

Cool, sounds like something I've done before! What are the most challenging aspects here?

• Good question! Gaining a strong understanding of the products and related technologies.
• Managing multiple tasks and deadlines effectively.
• Approaching problems logically and systematically.
• Producing high-quality work under time pressure.
• Setting up the appropriate equipment for different tasks.
  
  

It's also worth mentioning you'll be working alongside the validation team, project leads and other departments to do the above so the ability to be dynamic and work well with multiple teams is a must!

Okay, I think I know what they are looking for but what sort of characteristics would help in this environment?

• Someone who is detail-oriented with a methodical approach.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Collaborative and solution-focused.
• Capable of presenting data in various formats.
• Able to follow processes and produce clear reports.
  
  

Perfect! Final question... What sort of experience/skills are they looking for on my CV?

• Prior experience in a similar technical role.
• A good background in technical or scientific disciplines.
• Strong proficiency in English.
• Comfortable following detailed instructions.
• Computer literate, with experience using standard office software.
• Previous experience in product testing and validation is an advantage.
