Job description

  • Ideally, a formal apprenticeship (can be from any background (e.g., car mechanic, military, etc.))
  • Electrical or mechanical – multi-skilled preferred but not essential
  • Experience with pneumatics or vacuum systems is a bonus

We’re open to a wide range of backgrounds. If you’re qualified and keen to grow in a high-tech environment, we’d love to hear from you.

  • 12-hour shifts: permanent days (7am–7pm) or nights (7pm–7am)
  • No rotation – fixed shift pattern
  • Shift allowance:
    • Days: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday + alt Saturday: +30% shift allowance
    • Days: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday + alt Saturday: +20% shift allowance
    • Nights: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday + alt Saturday: +50% shift allowance
    • Nights: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday + alt Saturday: +50% shift allowance

  • Life assurance: 4x annual basic salary
  • Annual bonus scheme: 3% of base salary (subject to company performance)
  • Bupa private healthcare (single cover)
  • Annual leave: 192 hours + 8 bank holidays

Additional Perks:

  • Support for further education (up to PhD level)
  • On-site occupational nurse and employee assistance programme
  • Access to the Reward Gateway discount platform
  • Year-round wellbeing initiatives

Working with a great manager and a clear growth plan, if you’re looking for a stable, well-paid role in a high-tech environment, this could be the one.  Apply with an up-to-date CV for a confidential chat to discuss the details and your circumstances.
