We are looking for a Support Engineer to work within the RAL Space Environmental Test Division. The role will involve working as part of a small team to support the operation of the existing and future infrastructure. The current facilities, spread across two buildings, include multiple cleanrooms, fixed cranes and mobile handling equipment and the new NSTF facilities will expand that offering. You will be split between working in a cleanroom environment and an office or light industrial environment, depending on the task at hand.
STFC has a centralised maintenance function who will perform scheduled and reactive maintenance on the vast majority of the building systems required to operate the facilities. You will work closely with them to ensure maintenance is scheduled at a time where disruption of services provided to users is minimised, and to ensure they have appropriate and safe access to the areas they need. Where other maintenance services are required, these are arranged using third party contractors.
You will work within a well-defined Quality Management System (QMS), which places specific requirements on record keeping and the regularity of tasks. Therefore, attention to detail and dedication to see a task though to the end is paramount.
The infrastructure team is required to cover the core operating hours of the facilities, 08:00 to 18:00 5 days a week so you will need to adopt a flexible working pattern to ensure that customer requirements can be met within this time. Occasionally, additional coverage is required to support maintenance or breakdowns. Where this can’t be accommodated within a flexible working pattern overtime may be offered at the discretion of management.
Due to the nature of the role, there may be a requirement for on-call support once you are suitably experienced in the systems and procedures followed. When this is required, an additional payment is made to compensate.
The duties and responsibilities are as follows:
Personal Specification
The following criteria for the Support Engineer will be assessed at either shortlisting (S), interview (I), or both (S&I):
STFC values their employees by offering a benefits package designed to provide an excellent work/life balance. This includes 30 days’ annual leave, 10.5 public and privilege holidays, flexible working hours, a workplace nursery, exceptional average salary pension scheme, social and sporting activities and societies and a subsidised restaurant.
