Job description

Build the Future of Scientific Technology - Workshop Technician Wanted

Are you the kind of person who enjoys taking things apart, rebuilding them better, and making precision equipment work flawlessly?

We’re hiring a Workshop Technician to join a hands-on engineering team creating advanced scientific instruments used in cutting-edge biomedical and research environments.

This is not a routine assembly job, it’s a practical role where you’ll work closely with engineers, product teams, and customers to ensure high-performance systems are built, tested, repaired, and continuously improved.

Your Mission

You’ll be at the heart of our workshop operations, helping to:

• Build and test electromechanical scientific systems from the ground up
• Diagnose faults, repair instruments, and keep equipment running at peak performance
• Support field servicing and customer installations (including occasional international travel)
• Create workshop tools, jigs, and fixtures to support faster, smarter production
• Take ownership of stock, parts organisation, shipping, and workshop flow
• Collaborate with R&D and design teams to improve future builds and processes

Who This Suits Best

This role is ideal for someone who’s naturally practical, curious, and enjoys solving real-world mechanical and electrical challenges.

You’ll thrive if you have:

• Strong hands-on skills and confidence using tools
• Experience assembling or repairing electromechanical products
• The ability to read wiring schematics, procedures, and engineering drawings
• A detail-focused mindset and pride in high-quality work
• Independence and clear communication skills

What You’ll Gain

• A fast-moving, innovative engineering environment
• Opportunity to grow across manufacturing, service, and R&D
• Work on technologies that directly support biomedical breakthroughs
• International travel and customer-facing engineering experience
• Competitive salary, pension, and generous holiday allowance

Nice-to-Haves (Not Required)

If you have interest or experience in any of these, even better:

• CAD or mechanical design tools
• 3D printing or prototyping
• Robotics or automation projects
• Workshop/lab safety best practice

Inclusive & People-First Culture

We believe great teams are built from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. What matters most is your ability, motivation, and passion for building technology that makes a difference.
