About the role
Are you starting out in electronics and enjoy working out why a circuit isn't working? Our client in Falkirk is looking for a Junior Electronic Technician to join their repair team. You'll learn to diagnose and repair VF drives, HMIs and circuit boards from a wide range of industries, with support from experienced technicians.

• Supporting routine maintenance to prevent future failures and extend equipment life
• Recording repair procedures, replaced components and work carried out, for quality control and future reference

What we're looking for

• A good grasp of electronics fundamentals and the ability to read basic schematics and datasheets
• Some soldering experience, whether through study, work or personal projects. SMD rework experience is a bonus
• IPC J-STD-001 certification is desirable but not essential, as training can be provided
• A willingness to learn and follow safety standards and quality procedures
• A methodical approach and an eye for detail

Why join?

• Salary of £[XX,000] - £[XX,000], depending on experience
• Structured on-the-job training and mentoring from experienced repair technicians
• Varied, hands-on work across many types of equipment and industries
• A clear path to develop into a fully skilled Electronic Technician
• A supportive team focused on doing excellent repair work
