An HNC/BTEC Level 4 or equivalent in Electrical/Electronic Engineering would be advantageous, although strong hands-on experience will also be considered.

A full UK driving licence is required.

Your Background

We re open-minded on industry background. Relevant experience could come from:

  • Digital print or imaging equipment
  • Electronics
  • IT hardware
  • Banking or cash-handling technology
  • Medical or laboratory equipment
  • Scientific instrumentation
  • AV technology
