£27,500 per annum | Full Training Provided | Temporary to Permanent role

Got steady hands and an eye for detail? This could be your next career.

We're looking for people with genuine precision skills — whether that's gained on a workbench, at a jeweller's loupe, in a salon, or under the bonnet of a car — to train as Repair Technicians at our client's specialist repair facility in Northampton.

You'll be trained from the ground up to service, restore, and repair high-value instruments, working on optics, tubing, circuitry, camera lenses, and precision-machined parts.

No previous experience needed. What matters most is precision, patience, and the ability to work with small, delicate components.

What You'll Be Doing

Full training on all instrument types — how they work, their specifications, and how to repair them

Examining, testing, and troubleshooting equipment to identify faults

Hands-on repair work using microscopes, soldering irons, grinders, sanders, and polishers

Repairing casings, tubing, circuitry, lenses, and machined parts

Working to strict quality, safety, and ISO standards

Contributing ideas as part of a close-knit, improvement-focused team

Jewellery making or repair – skilled with small components and detailed handwork

Nail technicians –Fast, precise, steady-handed work using fine tools

Mobile phone, electronics, or appliance repair – comfortable taking things apart and rebuilding them

Dental lab technicians – precision, small-scale, detail-driven work

Assembly work – confident following detailed instructions and diagrams

If your day-to-day has involved tweezers, a microscope, a soldering iron, or laser welding equipment, we want to hear from you.

At least 1 year of general work experience

Excellent hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills
