*Confident reading and working from technical drawings and build instructions without supervision
*Strong fault-finding skills with the ability to repair basic components
*Understanding of Works Orders and the Picking process in a manufacturing environment
*Excellent manual dexterity, consistency, and attention to detail
*Ability to test sub-assemblies and finished products to specific test procedures
*Recognised apprenticeship or relevant BTEC (or equivalent) and basic electrical experience would also be great to have but not essential.
