Summary - This company is small (£2.3M turnover),. This would not be a full time post. It would have to flow and ebb with it's own progression, we would have to have that level of objectivity for someone to know when they are needed and or being effective.
A strategy for mentoring some engineeers in the organisation to carry out these functions say for 2 months each year on rota would also be worthy of exploration.
