Illustrative responsibilities for your brief, not an advertised vacancy or a fixed staffing package.
What experience and systems matter?
Ask for experience completing comparable work with the level of independence your team expects. Discuss the volume, complexity and quality checks for each responsibility.
- Quality systems
- test data
- engineering specifications
The systems above are examples. Name your actual tools, access requirements and training arrangements in the brief.
How can we assess the work?
Review a relevant work sample and a bounded technical exercise. Discuss assumptions, drawing or calculation checks and when to escalate.
Example task for discussion
Define inspection and verification requirements.
Ask the candidate to explain the inputs they need, their approach, the checks they would make and the handover they would provide.
