Overview
KO2’s client, a growing engineering business based in Jarrow, is looking for an Electronics Technician to join their team. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves fixing, testing, building, and solving technical problems. The company is open-minded: you might be a hobbyist who spends weekends building and repairing electronics, or you could be a highly experienced technician with years in the trade. What matters most is a can-do attitude, a willingness to learn, and a genuine enthusiasm for electronics and electrical work.
This is a varied role – no two days are the same. One day you might be fault-finding down to component level on a PCB, the next updating a schematic, writing a manual, installing a system onsite, or unpacking equipment ready for a customer. If you like rolling your sleeves up, getting stuck in, and turning your hand to anything, this is the job for you.
