The Role
Our client is looking for a detail-oriented and motivated Electronics Manufacturing Technician to join their Manufacturing Department. You will be responsible for assembling, soldering, testing, inspecting, and fault-finding electronic and electro-mechanical assemblies, requiring a practical understanding of electronic circuits, components, and test methods to ensure products meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.

Methodical approach to fault finding with good documentation and communication skills.
Comfortable working to defined quality standards and controlled build procedures. Desirable
Experience working to IPC standards or formal electronics workmanship certification.
