· Interpret data and produce reports about a site’s compliance with legislation, with a view to achieving successful certification.

The Individual:

As a Testing Officer, you will partake in an in-depth training programme to cover all aspects of the role. This includes developing expert knowledge of standards, covering classroom theory as well as on-the-job, shadowing industry experts across different sites.
