The Electrical Support Engineer reports to our new Head of Engineering and manages electrical tasks, testing protocols, and issues in conjunction with the Senior Mechanical Engineer.
The role confirms, owns, develops, and manages the VTGB job packs for all electrically based job packs. It also owns and manages all VTGB electrically based concessions and electrically based engineering changes (ECs), together with owning the creation, review, development, certification, and management of electrically biased BoMs. You will be responsible for the management of all electrically biased data, manuals, drawings, information, etc. The postholder will determine, design, select, and reverse engineer electrical components, systems, and test equipment.
Your responsibilities will include carrying out electrically based investigations, analysis, research, and assessments to support NCRs, customer complaints, warranty claims, fault diagnosis, casualties, overhaul activities, creation of COs, method statements, manuals, work instructions, and RAMS. You will conduct condition assessments and failure analyses and produce reports for internal use (VTGB and VT Germany) and externally for customer purposes (joint investigations, warranty claims).
