Electrical Assembler

Due to an increase in customer orders, we are looking for skilled technicians with experience working within regulated manufacturing environments, ideally to aerospace, defence or similarly high-quality standards.

The Poynton facility has a strong heritage within the global defence and security markets. The team manufactures a wide range of advanced products, including:

• Satellite communication equipment
• Power management and control systems
• Surveillance equipment
• Counter-IED systems

The manufacturing operation covers electronic and electro-mechanical assembly, panel and cabinet wiring, and the testing of completed assemblies.

Key Responsibilities

• Complete complex cabinet, rack and box wiring using 22 AWG to 10 AWG cable and wire.
• Work across power, data and RF applications.
• Use a variety of handheld crimping tools.
• Create, route and secure multi-cable harnesses and wiring looms.
• Terminate a range of connector types, including multi-pin, 38999, RF, data and power connectors.
• Complete crimped and soldered wire terminations.
• Support the development and manufacture of first-off units and cabling.
• Work accurately from engineering drawings, wiring schedules and technical documentation.
• Ensure all work is completed in line with required quality, safety and manufacturing standards.

Skills and Experience

• A minimum of three years' experience in cabinet, rack or box wiring.
• The ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.
• Experience working from wiring schedules, wiring diagrams and circuit diagrams.
• The ability to follow bespoke customer-supplied assembly instructions.
• Strong practical wiring, crimping and soldering skills.
• Good attention to detail and a commitment to producing high-quality work.

Experience in prototype wiring or completion of a time-served apprenticeship would be desirable but is not essential.

IPC J-STD certification would be a distinct advantage.

Interview Process

The interview process will consist of a single-stage interview with the HR and Production Managers.

There will be no practical trade test. Candidates will be asked technical and competency-based questions about their previous wiring and manufacturing experience.

Benefits

• 23 days' annual leave

• Early finish on Fridays
• Flexible working opportunities
• Company pension scheme
• Health cash-back scheme
