• Provide clear and effective training and guidance to staff on all compliance-related matters.
• Actively participate in product testing and validation processes to rigorously ensure adherence to legal and regulatory standards.
• Provide essential assistance in applying for and maintaining CTAs (Component Type Approvals) and VTAs (Vehicle Type Approvals) within the ROVER system.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline.
• A minimum of 3 years of practical experience in engineering roles within the heavy haulage, automotive, or broader manufacturing sectors.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively within engineering teams and across functional teams, showcasing excellent communication and project management skills.
• Familiarity with ERP systems; experience with SAP is considered a significant bonus.
• A proactive and solution-oriented mindset with a keen and unwavering attention to detail.
• Meticulous, highly organised, and methodical approach to all work tasks.
