Repair Technician in Cambridge
Posted by SoCode Limited
Cambridge, 5 days on site
Salary: up to £35k
Are you a hands-on repair technician who takes pride in sending equipment back out working perfectly?
We're working with a global designer and manufacturer of communications equipment, used by emergency services, transport, utilities and other demanding sectors around the world. Their growth is continuing, and they're looking for a Repair Technician to join their Repairs team in Cambridge.
You'll be part of a structured, process-driven repair centre, diagnosing customer-reported faults using test equipment, jigs and fixtures. You'll disassemble and reassemble products, replace standard components, carry out PCB-level soldering where needed, and verify every completed repair through structured test and validation. You'll also apply defined hardware modifications in line with work instructions, and support both internal and customer-driven modification programmes.
Accuracy matters as much as repair skill here. You'll record all work in the management system, look after spare parts stock in your area, and keep jobs moving to hit turnaround and service level targets. You'll have the support of your line manager and team, and you'll work with colleagues across the wider business. If you spot an issue or risk, you'll escalate it promptly.
What You'll Bring
- Experience working in a repair or service environment, following defined procedures
- Mechanical assembly and disassembly of products, plus PCB-level soldering
- Confidence using standard test equipment and service tools
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow work instructions accurately
- The ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced environment
- Good interpersonal skills and familiarity with MS Office (Excel and Word)
- Further education (e.g. GNVQ, BTEC or A Levels)
- Eligibility for UK SC clearance. This is a requirement of the role.
- Experience in an electronics manufacturing environment
- BGA rework machine experience
- IPC inspection certification
- Awareness of Health & Safety processes
- Familiarity with ERP systems such as Dynamics AX/365
