The Mechanical Assembly Technician plays a critical role in building high‑quality mechanical systems and structures that are ready for seamless integration, test, and deployment. You will take engineering intent — drawings, BOMs, and specifications — and turn it into precise, reliable, right‑first‑time mechanical builds that underpin safe and consistent product delivery.
This Role Combines
* Hands‑on mechanical assembly (building frames, enclosures, sub‑assemblies, and fitted components to defined standards)
* Cross‑disciplinary integration (working closely with electrical technicians to ensure clean, serviceable, mechanically sound installations)
* Quality‑driven production support (maintaining workmanship standards, identifying issues early, and supporting rework or retrofit activities)
What You Will Be Doing
* Assemble mechanical structures and sub‑assemblies: Build frames, enclosures, modules, and mechanical interfaces using engineering drawings, detail views, and BOMs to guide accurate, repeatable assembly
* Fit mechanical components with precision: Install bearings, shafts, brackets, seals, guards, fasteners, and panels, ensuring correct alignment, torque, and clearances
* Carry out core workshop operations: Perform drilling, tapping, torquing, alignment, and basic adjustments using hand tools, power tools, and workshop equipment safely and correctly
* Support mechanical‑electrical integration: Work closely with electrical technicians to integrate looms, panels, and equipment, ensuring mechanical interfaces are correct and access for service and test is maintained
* Maintain quality, safety, and compliance: Build to defined workmanship standards, follow EHS procedures, and identify drawing issues, missing parts, or non‑conformances early
* Support production and delivery activities: Assist with rework, retrofit, packaging, preparation, and installation tasks, feeding back issues to Manufacturing Engineering to improve designs and instructions
Who You Are
* Experienced in mechanical assembly or fitting. You have hands‑on experience building mechanical systems, reading engineering drawings, and working with BOMs and workshop tools
* Detail‑driven and quality‑focused. You take pride in workmanship, follow processes carefully, and understand the impact of precision on downstream integration and test
* Comfortable in production environments. You can work to schedules, adapt to build priorities, and maintain a clean, organised, safe workspace
* A practical, collaborative team member. You work well with electrical, mechanical, and production colleagues, communicate clearly, and take ownership of your build output
Desirable
* Mechanical qualification or apprenticeship (NVQ Level 2/3 or equivalent)
* Experience with low‑volume or bespoke builds transitioning into repeatable production
* Exposure to electrical systems or control builds
* Basic fault‑finding and rework capability
