A little about the opportunity

Ever wondered what goes into bringing electronic equipment back to life?

Due to continued business growth, we're looking for a hands-on, detail-driven individual to join a specialist electronics repair team. This is a newly created position offering the opportunity to put your existing soldering skills to use, develop your technical knowledge and learn the art of electronic repair.

You'll be working with electronic assemblies and printed circuit boards (PCBs), carrying out precise soldering, rework and repairs to help restore components to their required working condition.

You don't need to be an expert in PCB repair already.

Practical, hands-on soldering experience is essential, but the specialist techniques can be taught. With dedicated training, you'll have the opportunity to develop skills in areas such as PCB pad and track repairs and BGA (Ball Grid Array) rework.

If you enjoy practical work, take pride in getting the little details right and want to build a long-term career in a technical environment, this could be a great next step.

What will you be getting involved in?

Bringing electronics back to life: Carrying out soldering, component rework and repairs on a variety of electronic assemblies.

Getting hands-on with PCBs: Learning and performing precision pad and track repairs on printed circuit boards.

Developing specialist skills: Training to operate specialist equipment, including BGA rework stations.

Working from the detail: Reading and interpreting technical drawings, schematics and repair instructions.

Taking pride in quality: Ensuring every repair is completed accurately and to the required standard.

Keeping things organised: Recording repair work, maintaining accurate documentation and looking after your workspace.

Working safely: Using tools and equipment correctly and following established health and safety procedures.

What we're looking for

We're much more interested in your practical ability, attitude and willingness to learn than having a long list of qualifications.

You'll ideally have:

Previous practical, hands-on soldering experience - this is essential.

Good hand-eye coordination and excellent manual dexterity.

A naturally meticulous approach and pride in producing quality work.

An interest in electronics, PCB repair or electronic manufacturing.

Some experience working with electronic components or PCBs would be advantageous.

The ability to follow technical instructions and interpret drawings or schematics.

A methodical approach to problem-solving and fault-finding.

The confidence to work independently while being a supportive team player.

Good communication skills and basic computer literacy.

The recruitment process

The recruitment process consists of two stages, including a practical soldering test.
