• Build and manage the test and calibration transfer plan, including a training programme for Telford technicians, engineers and team leaders
• Review the existing test and calibration equipment, identify gaps, and raise CAPEX requests for the Telford setup
• Support the laboratory setup, including layout and environmental controls, and keep everything compliant with applicable standards
• Flag process and product improvement opportunities along the way
