This is a hands-on role where you'll apply your electronics knowledge, fault-finding abilities and attention to detail to diagnose, repair and test electronic components. Whether you already have practical component-level fault-finding experience or bring strong theoretical electronics knowledge, we're interested in the skills and potential you can bring to the team.

• Carrying out maintenance, repair and overhaul activities on electronic components and assemblies in line with customer instructions.
• Performing electronic testing and fault diagnosis down to component level to identify faults and support effective repairs.

• Using appropriate test equipment and procedures to verify component functionality and ensure products meet the required specifications.
• Carrying out soldering activities, including through-hole and surface-mount soldering, in line with relevant standards.
• Accurately recording test results and maintaining technical documentation.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to meet deadlines, achieve targets and maintain high standards of quality.

What you'll bring

• Experience working within an assembly and test environment.
• Practical experience maintaining and repairing hydraulic and electromechanical units and sub-assemblies.
• Experience in fault-finding down to board level.
• Soldering experience, including through-hole and surface-mount soldering to 711, 610 and J-STD standards.
• A relevant apprenticeship or equivalent practical, hands-on experience.
• Good attention to detail and the ability to follow technical instructions accurately.
