The opportunity
Join CSIRO’s Energy Systems Transition Facilities team and contribute to the safe, reliable and efficient operation of specialist energy testing facilities.
As a Testing Technician / Engineer, you will set up, operate and maintain test equipment used to evaluate air conditioners, heat pump hot water systems, residential batteries and renewable energy hardware integration. Your initial and primary focus will be establishing and conducting testing of air conditioners and heat pump hot water systems.
Working alongside engineers and other technical specialists, you will support test planning and execution, instrumentation and control, equipment maintenance, fault-finding and data validation. You will help ensure that testing produces accurate, repeatable and high-quality results while contributing to the ongoing improvement of equipment, processes and facility performance.
Applications for this position across two capability levels, and the successful candidate will be appointed at the level that reflects their skills and experience. At the higher level, you will take greater responsibility for complex technical investigations, project planning and the development and implementation of solutions where established methods may not exist.
