- Coordinating external testing, reviewing technical reports and maintaining approval documentation.
- Monitoring changes in UK, EU and international legislation and assessing their impact on future products.
- Supporting conformity of production, technical investigations and regulatory audits.
- Representing Swift at industry working groups and contributing to technical discussions.

We're looking for someone who can combine strong technical knowledge with a practical approach to engineering compliance.
Ideally, you'll have
- A degree in Engineering, Applied Science or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
- Knowledge of GB and EU Whole Vehicle Type Approval, UNECE regulations and relevant approval routes.
- Experience preparing technical approval documentation and working with approval authorities or technical services.
- The ability to interpret legislation and technical standards and translate them into clear engineering requirements.
- Strong attention to detail, organisational skills and confidence reviewing technical evidence.
- A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel when required.
Experience within the automotive, leisure vehicle, trailer or low-volume manufacturing sectors would be particularly beneficial.
Why join Swift?
You'll be joining an established British manufacturer where your expertise will have a genuine impact on the products we develop.
With direct exposure to senior engineering leadership, external testing organisations and industry bodies, this is an opportunity to take ownership of a specialist area while contributing to the development of our future product ranges.
If you're looking for a role where you can apply your technical expertise, influence engineering decisions and work across a varied product portfolio, we'd love to hear from you.
