The role will involve supporting the build of high-precision products, including project-based assembly work as new products move into production. You will be working in a skilled manufacturing environment alongside experienced Technicians and Engineering staff.
This would suit someone from a background in mechanical assembly, electro-mechanical assembly, fitting, toolmaking, instrument making, precision assembly or similar.
Key Responsibilities
• Assemble complex mechanical and electro-mechanical components
• Work from engineering drawings, build instructions and technical documentation
• Carry out detailed assembly tasks including fitting, bonding, wiring, routing and component modification

Requirements
• Previous experience in skilled assembly, fitting, toolmaking, instrument making, precision engineering or similar
• Confident reading and interpreting engineering drawings or technical instructions
• Strong hands-on ability with tools and detailed assembly work
• Good attention to detail and a quality-focused approach
• Comfortable working on varied, low-volume or complex builds
• Able to follow processes carefully and work accurately

• Electro-mechanical assembly
• Wiring, soldering, crimping or bonding
• Component modification or fitting work
• Basic mechanical or electrical testing
• Prototype, project-based or low-volume manufacturing experience
