Job Title: Assembly Technician
Location: Southampton (Swanwick)
The Opportunity:
Our client designs and manufactures advanced electric propulsion and smart marine systems from its waterside facility on the River Hamble. Its technology powers commercial, defence, leisure and autonomous vessels as global demand accelerates for high performance electric alternatives.
With production volumes increasing and external manufacturing partnerships being established, this appointment is commercially significant. The successful individual will not simply build units. They will help shape how a growing production function scales without compromising precision, safety or reputation.
The Impact You Will Have
- Build complete propulsion systems across mechanical, hydraulic and electrical disciplines to exacting standards
• Commission and test finished products, including on water validation, ensuring performance before release
• Work directly with the Production Manager to refine assembly and maintenance processes as volumes increase
• Support transfer of production to an external facility, helping establish line set up and train technicians
• Protect quality control through accurate recording, certification and disciplined workshop standards
What Success Looks Like
- Strong practical capability with hand tools and sound understanding of mechanical and electrical principles
• High attention to detail with pride in producing right first time work
• Organised and disciplined in maintaining tools, workspace and documentation
• Comfortable working across functions in a scaling production environment
• Motivated by responsibility and standards rather than supervision
What Is on Offer
Hands on involvement with advanced electric marine technology.
Exposure to commissioning and on water testing, not just bench assembly.
Influence over how a production operation evolves as it scales.
A flexible, adult working culture with long term growth potential.
This role will suit a technician who wants to be part of building a serious engineering business, not simply assembling parts.
We are recruiting over the year a minimum of 3 Assembly technicians so if there is anyone you can recommend, let me know!
