Description
At Livelink Aerospace, we are at the forefront of aerospace innovation. We pride ourselves on delivering high-reliability, cutting-edge technology. As we continue to scale our operations, we are seeking a detail-oriented and versatile Assembly Technician to join our production team.
In this role, you will work across both conventional PCB assembly and prototype development, playing a hands-on role in bringing our advanced aerospace systems to life.
As a Production Assembler / Assistant, you will be primarily based at our Havant facility, with occasional travel to our Lavant site to support prototype production and collaborative projects.

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.
