Test Specialist – High Power Lab

Meer dan uitvoeren — jij denkt mee, meet nauwkeurig en draagt bij aan de kwaliteit van elk test. Als Testspecialist werk jij aan de kern van wat dit laboratorium uniek maakt: het veilig en betrouwbaar testen van elektrische componenten die de energiewereld draaiende houden.

Je komt te werken bij een gespecialiseerd technisch laboratorium in de regio Arnhem dat een sleutelrol speelt in de energietransitie. In dit lab worden elektrische componenten getest en gecertificeerd voordat ze hun weg vinden naar energienetten wereldwijd.

De organisatie werkt met geavanceerde testapparatuur en is actief voor opdrachtgevers uit de hele wereld. Innovatie staat centraal: er wordt continu geïnvesteerd in nieuwe technologieën en testmethoden om aan te sluiten bij de steeds strengere eisen van de elektriciteitsindustrie.

Het is een omgeving waar technisch vakmanschap gewaardeerd wordt en waar jouw werk direct bijdraagt aan veilige en betrouwbare energievoorziening — nu en in de toekomst.

As a Test Specialist, you support and perform high-power electrical tests that verify the safety and performance of electrical components. You work with advanced test installations where short-circuit tests and other high-power measurements are conducted.
