Job Description:

Electronics Assembly & Production Technician

Precision bench assembly • Testing and configuration • Elstree, Hertfordshire

Salary: £26,000 - £29,000 + contributory pension, free parking, regular training and upskilling

Do you take real pride in building something properly - and notice the details others miss?

We’re looking for an experienced electronics assembler to join our friendly six-person Production team, building, testing and configuring electronic wireless communications products used by customers around the world.

The role

• Assembling small electronic products and sub-assemblies by hand, including cables, batteries, transmitters, PCB-based assemblies and LED components.
• Completing cable and wire assembly, hand placement and occasional hand soldering.
• Following build instructions, diagrams and drawings accurately and consistently.
• Using small hand tools, meters, electrical test equipment and computer-based test systems.
• Programming and configuring devices to the correct frequency and specification.
• Inspecting and quality-checking your own work and completed products before release.
• Working closely with five production colleagues to meet demanding quality and output targets.

What matters most:

Pride in quality is paramount. We need someone who can demonstrate a consistent record of careful workmanship: following instructions, checking their work, spotting faults or inconsistencies and taking responsibility for putting things right.

• Relevant hands-on experience: assembling, wiring, testing and configuring electronic products.
• Fine manual dexterity: comfortable handling small parts, wires, connectors, PCBs and tools.
• Accuracy and discipline: able to repeat a build process reliably without allowing standards to slip.
• Team contribution: dependable, cooperative and comfortable working in a close-knit, output-focused team.
• Basic IT confidence: able to use a desktop PC and standard Microsoft software.

Experience that could be a strong match

You may currently build, test, inspect or configure products such as:

• Paging, radio, communications or call systems
• Door-entry, access-control or intercom systems
• Security, intruder-alarm or fire-alarm equipment
• Control panels, sensors, detectors or other low-voltage devices
• Cable assemblies, wiring looms, PCB-based products or compact electronic equipment

Experience matters more than a particular industry label. We are interested in what you personally worked on, the tools and instructions you used, and how you made sure your work met the required quality standard.

Why join CST?

Call Systems Technology (CST) designs and supplies paging and two-way communication systems that help customers work more efficiently. Our technology is used in five-star hotels, investment banks, household-name retailers, super-yachts, football stadiums, international restaurant groups and many other settings worldwide.

• A friendly, experienced production team where your contribution is visible
• Varied bench work across assembly, testing, repair and configuration
• A quality-led environment where careful workmanship is recognised and valued
• The satisfaction of building innovative communications systems used by customers around the world

Location and practical requirements

• This is a  full-time onsite role at CST’s headquarters in Elstree, Hertfordshire, WD6 3SJ
• You should be able to demonstrate a reliable and reasonable daily commute.
• You must have the full right to work in the UK.
• Some flexibility for occasional overtime may be required at peak times.
