Alongside overseeing the customer and their projects, you'll also be responsible for hands-on testing in our lab.
This is a great opportunity for someone who's seeking variety in their role, as at UL Solutions, no two days are the same! You also have a genuine opportunity to grow your career here, in a small, close-knit team with good people.
