Your Impact

We are looking for a Manufacturing Technician to join our Southampton site. In this role you will be required to perform highly precise manual assembly and finishing operations on small, delicate, or high-tolerance components where exceptional hand dexterity, steady control, and attention to microscopic detail are critical to product quality and safety.

What you will do as a Manufacturing Technician

  • Assemble micro-scale or high-precision components using hand tools, tweezers, microscopes, or magnification systems

  • Perform fine alignment, fitting, and adjustment of components within extremely tight tolerances

  • Handle fragile materials (e.g. micro-electronics, thin wires, miniature fasteners, precision springs) without damage

  • Conduct detailed visual inspections to identify defects not detectable by automated systems

  • Execute repetitive, detail-intensive tasks while maintaining consistent quality over extended periods

  • Follow exacting work instructions, schematics, and standard operating procedures

  • Maintain cleanroom or controlled-environment discipline where required

  • Accurately document assembly steps, quality checks, and deviations

  • Collaborate with quality and engineering teams to resolve precision-related issues


What you’ll bring

  • Exceptional fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination

  • Ability to manipulate extremely small parts with consistent accuracy

  • Steady hands with minimal tremor under magnification

  • High tactile sensitivity and spatial awareness

  • Strong visual acuity (with or without corrective lenses)

  • Ability to maintain focus on intricate tasks for long durations

  • Superior attention to detail and error detection

  • Patience and discipline in repetitive precision work

  • Previous work in precision manufacturing, micro-assembly, electronics, medical devices, jewellery, watchmaking, or similar fields

  • Manufacturing / Production working environment (Cleanroom & Temperature and Humidity Controlled)

  • Familiarity with precision hand tools and micro-assembly equipment

This is not an exhaustive list, and we are keen to hear from you even if you might not have experience in all the above. The most important skill is a good attitude and willingness to learn.
