We are seeking a multi-skilled Mechanical Technician to support the build, assembly, and manufacture of bespoke machinery and mechanical systems.
This role is hands-on and workshop-based, suited to someone who enjoys working with metal, machinery, and physical systems rather than purely theoretical design. This position focuses on fabrication, assembly, installation, and practical problem-solving.
You will work closely with mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and technicians to turn designs and drawings into robust, real-world machines.
Key Responsibilities
Fabricate and assemble mechanical structures, machines, andcomponents
Operate fabrication equipment such as press brakes, laser cutters, drills, and saws
Use hand and power tools safely and effectively
Assemble machines and sub-assemblies from as-built and manufacturing drawings
Support mechanical installation, alignment, and commissioning activities
Modify and rework components where required during prototyping or build
Assist with fault-finding and mechanical improvements on existing systems
Maintain a clean, safe, and organised workshop environment
Must Haves
Strong hands-on mechanical skills
Experience operating fabrication machinery (e.g. press brake, laser cutter, or similar)
Confident using hand tools and power tools
Ability to read and understand mechanical drawings and as-built documentation
Practical problem-solving mindset
Good attention to detail and build quality
Ability to work independently and as part of ateam
