About the roleManpower Engineering is recruiting on behalf of a global technology leader. You'll play a hands-on part building and testing advanced systems used in some of the world's toughest environments. If you enjoy turning schematics into robust, test-passed assemblies - and you take pride in neat wiring, clean documentation and first-time-right quality - this is for you.

What you'll be doing

  • Assemble electronic/electrical sub-assemblies and complete builds from schematics, drawings and work orders in an ISO9001 environment.

  • Wire and solder harnesses and cable assemblies; build control panels/cabinets; work on PCBs (SMT/through-hole), transformer assemblies, consoles and connectors.

  • Carry out heavy-duty cable wiring, deck cable assembly and control system outfitting.

  • Diagnose, fault-find and repair to PCB component level; run troubleshooting and functional tests.

  • Operate computer-controlled equipment as required.

  • Hit build times/efficiency targets for project integration and tooling/spares work orders.

What you'll bring (essential)

  • Proven panel wiring/looming (LV AC/DC) and confidence working from electrical schematics.

  • Soldering skills (through-hole and ideally SMT) with PCB rework and component-level fault-finding.

  • Exposure to control/data systems and awareness of high-voltage installations.

  • Strong focus on quality, schedule and safety with accurate documentation in ISO9001 processes.

  • Clear communicator, organised team player; calm under pressure and detail-driven.

Nice to have (desirable)

  • ONC (or higher) in Electrical/Electronic Engineering.

  • 18th Edition (IET/BS 7671).

  • Fibre-optic handling/termination experience.

  • Background in shop-floor build/test, production processes and equipment.

Safety & compliance (QHSE)

  • Act in line with site QHSE requirements and personal accountability.

  • Proactively report unsafe or environmentally unsound acts/conditions so risks can be managed.

Why apply?

  • Build technology with real-world impact in a world-class engineering environment.

  • Varied, hands-on work across cutting-edge systems - every day is different.

  • Supportive team culture with opportunities to learn (including fibre-optic skills).

  • Day shift with an early Friday finish.
