Production Technician

£28,000 – £33,000 Tring

9-day fortnight

Are you good with your hands, technically minded and someone who takes real pride in getting things right?

We're recruiting a Production Technician for an established engineering business in Tring, working on the build and test of sophisticated, precision-engineered equipment.

This is not high-volume production line work. You'll be building complex products at a bench, working from engineering drawings and seeing the equipment come together from individual components through to final test.

What you'll be doing

• Precision mechanical and electro-mechanical assembly

• Building from engineering drawings and work instructions

• Testing and verifying completed assemblies

• Using hand tools and precision measuring equipment

• Fault finding and resolving build issues

• Working as part of a small, experienced production team

• Maintaining high standards of quality and 5S

What we're looking for

You'll need previous hands-on experience within assembly, manufacturing, production, testing or a similar technical environment.

We're particularly interested if you can:

• Read and understand engineering drawings

• Confidently use hand tools and measuring equipment

• Assemble and test technical products

• Spot when something isn't right and work out why

• Work accurately without sacrificing quality

Experience with soldering, crimping, electrical assembly, ERP systems, 5S or product verification would be a bonus.

More than anything, we're looking for someone who is switched on, reliable and genuinely enjoys hands-on technical work.

And the working pattern is a big plus...

You'll work a 9-day fortnight, giving you every other Friday completely off.

Week 1: Monday–Thursday 7:00am–4:30pm, Friday 7:00am–12:00pm
Week 2: Monday–Thursday 7:00am–4:30pm, Friday OFF

If you're looking for a hands-on technical role where you can work on genuinely interesting equipment, develop your skills and become part of a great team, we'd love to hear from you.
