Vehicle Assembly Technician – Specialist Electric Vehicles

Vehicle Assembly Technician – Specialist Electric Vehicles

The Opportunity

We are recruiting experienced Vehicle Assembly Technicians to join an innovative British automotive manufacturer producing beautifully engineered, scaled-down electric versions of iconic classic cars.

This is not a typical high-volume production-line role. You will work in a specialist, low-volume environment where craftsmanship, precision and build quality are genuinely important.

The position would particularly suit someone from specialist automotive, low-volume vehicle manufacturing, motorsport, classic cars or performance vehicle assembly.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building vehicles from chassis through to final assembly
• Installing mechanical, electrical, powertrain, body and safety components
• Working across production, prototype and demonstration vehicles
• Reading and interpreting technical drawings and build instructions
• Diagnosing and resolving mechanical and assembly issues
• Inspecting completed work and maintaining high quality standards
• Supporting continuous improvement of vehicle build and assembly processes
• Working closely with production and engineering colleagues

What We’re Looking For

Essential:

• Minimum 2 years’ hands-on vehicle assembly experience
• Good mechanical assembly skills
• Experience using hand and power tools
• Ability to work accurately to technical instructions and drawings
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality
• Full UK working rights

Experience from low-volume automotive, motorsport or specialist vehicle manufacturing would be particularly attractive.

Who Should Apply?

We would particularly like to hear from:
