Assembly Technician

A unique opportunity for an Assembly Technician to join a cutting-edge technology company developing highly innovative hardware products.

This is a hands-on role assembling precision mechanical, optical, and electronic components, supporting both prototype builds and established production work.

The position could suit an experienced Assembly Technician or a practical, technically minded graduate or entry-level technician who enjoys building and assembling products.

Due to the nature of some client projects, you must be willing and eligible to obtain security clearance.

Location

North Uttlesford / Greater Cambridge Area – five days onsite. A driving licence is strongly preferred as the office is not accessible by public transport.

Salary

£25,000–£30,000, rising to £35,000 for a highly experienced technician.

Requirements for Assembly Technician

  • Experience assembling mechanical, optical, or electronic components
  • Strong practical skills and manual dexterity
  • Excellent attention to detail, accuracy, and cleanliness
  • Ability to follow engineering drawings and documented workflows
  • Experience using hand tools, power tools, and precision instruments
  • Experience with soldering, wiring, or cable harness assembly would be beneficial
  • Comfortable working to deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
