Contract Test Technician – Dyno / Motor Testing

Norwich, Norfolk | 3 Month Contract (Strong Extension Potential) | Up to £55ph | Outside IR35 | Overtime Available | Start: ASAP

The Role

A specialist engineering client of ours is looking for an experienced Test Technician to join their team on an urgent contract basis. You’ll be at the heart of their motor testing operation — setting up and running dynamometer tests on electric drive systems and motors, working closely with engineers to ensure accurate, reliable results.

This is a hands-on role with real variety: from configuring test rigs and motors through to monitoring data acquisition systems, validating outputs, and supporting troubleshooting on upgraded dyno platforms. If you’re someone who takes pride in doing things properly and can hit the ground running in a technical environment, this is worth a look.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Setting up and executing rotational dynamometer (dyno) tests on electric motors and drive systems
• Configuring motors, test rigs and associated equipment ahead of test runs
• Operating and monitoring data acquisition systems throughout testing
• Capturing, recording and validating test data to engineering standards
• Supporting fault-finding and debug activities on dyno systems
• Collaborating with engineers across all stages of test execution

What We’re Looking For

Previous dyno or test rig experience is strongly preferred, alongside an electrical or electronics bias. We’re open to backgrounds across a range of sectors — any of the following would be relevant:

• Automotive test & development
• Marine propulsion or naval systems
• Rail engineering
• Industrial motors or drives
• Wind turbines or other rotating machinery

You should be practical, methodical and comfortable working in a fast-paced test environment with a degree of autonomy.

• Up to £55 per hour
• Outside IR35
• 3 month initial contract – strong potential to extend or transition long-term
• Overtime available
• One-stage Teams interview, available early next week
