Electronics Technician

Job Description

At PA, we design products for our clients and often deliver prototype products as key deliverables. The quality of these deliverables is hugely important to us, so we are looking for someone who shares our ambition to delight our clients.

You will work with our engineers and senior technicians to help realise our designs. Typically you will work on ‘one-offs’ or small prototype runs where the build process is not fully defined, requiring a diverse range of skills to complete the build. Think skilled artisan rather than production line operative. You will gain exposure to a wide range of products across Consumer, Healthcare, Industrial, and Defence and Security sectors, each bringing new challenges and learning opportunities.

As you become established, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the design process, particularly DFM and manufacturing process development.

This role might suit an individual with a background in a CEM or similar manufacturing environment looking for greater variety, or someone who just loves building things.

This is a hands‑on role. We are looking for an individual with strong practical skills and outstanding attention to detail.

• Work independently and pro-actively
• Produce process documents and work instructions
• Hand solder
• Manage specialist equipment
• Use common hand tools
• Execute test procedures
• Goods inspection
• Work in an ESD-safe environment

We need a quality-minded individual who can manage an ever-changing workload whilst maintaining a smile on their face. Candidates must have demonstrable experience in the listed skills. It is desirable for candidates to have qualifications such as A‑Level/HNC standard (or higher) and to possess good English, Maths and IT skills.

A significant proportion of our work is within the defence and security sector so candidates must be willing and able to gain UK security clearance.

• Health and lifestyle perks including private healthcare for you and your family
• 25 days annual leave (plus a bonus half day on Christmas Eve) with the opportunity to buy 5 additional days
• Generous company pension scheme
• Opportunity to get involved with community and charity based initiatives
• Annual performance-based bonus
• PA share ownership
• Tax efficient benefits (cycle to work, give as you earn)

We’re committed to advancing equality. We recruit, retain, reward and develop our people based solely on their abilities and contributions and without reference to their age, background, disability, genetic information, parental or family status, religion or belief, race, ethnicity, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity (or expression), political belief, veteran status, or any other range of human difference brought about by identity and experience.

We welcome applications from under‑represented groups.
