I am recruiting on behalf of my client, an established engineering and manufacturing business based in Wimborne, Dorset, who are looking to appoint an experienced Senior Wiring Technician to join their growing production team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled electrical assembly professional with strong soldering, wiring and electronic assembly experience to work on complex, high-precision instrumentation.

As a Senior Wiring Technician, you will be responsible for assembling complex electrical and electronic equipment, working from detailed technical drawings, wiring diagrams and manufacturing instructions. The role requires excellent attention to detail, strong practical skills and the ability to work independently to demanding quality standards.

Key responsibilities of a Senior Wiring Technician will include:
  • Wiring complex electrical assemblies using technical drawings, circuit diagrams and work instructions.
  • Soldering high-density multi-pin connectors and surface mount components.
  • Manufacturing cable looms and carrying out terminal installations.
  • Assembling control cabinets, racks, frames and associated electrical equipment.
  • Undertaking PCB assembly, repairs, modifications and upgrades.
  • Inspecting and verifying completed wiring assemblies to ensure quality and functionality.
  • Maintaining accurate manufacturing documentation, ERP records and traceability.
  • Working closely with engineering teams to support new product development and manufacturing improvements.
  • Supporting skills development and knowledge sharing across the production team.
  • Contributing to continuous improvement, health and safety and ESD compliance.
To be considered for this Senior Wiring Technician position, you will ideally have:
  • Significant experience in electrical or electronic assembly within a manufacturing environment.
  • Excellent soldering skills, particularly with high-density connectors and surface mount devices.
  • Experience manufacturing cable looms and complex wiring assemblies.
  • The ability to confidently interpret electrical drawings, wiring diagrams and PCB schematics.
  • Experience with PCB assembly, fault rectification and repair.
  • A qualification in electrical assembly or equivalent practical experience.
  • IPC-A-610 or IPC/WHMA-A-620 qualifications would be advantageous.
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to work independently.
  • Good communication skills and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
  • Flexibility to work additional hours when required.
The successful Senior Wiring Technician will play an important role within the manufacturing operation, supporting high-quality production while helping to improve processes and develop technical capabilities across the team.
Security Requirements

Due to the nature of the work, applicants must be sole British citizens and able to meet Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) requirements. Some positions may require additional security vetting, depending on the level of clearance required.
If you are an experienced Senior Wiring Technician looking for your next opportunity within a precision engineering environment, I would be keen to hear from you.
