Job Purpose
This is a rare opportunity to be part of one of Aston Martin's most exciting programmes!
As a Valhalla Build Technician, you'll join the Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) team and play a hands-on role in bringing one of Aston Martin's most advanced vehicles to life. Working within a highly skilled and passionate team, you'll be involved in the assembly of prototype vehicles, launch vehicles and production models, ensuring every component is fitted to the exacting standards expected of the Aston Martin brand.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with precision, takes pride in craftsmanship and wants to be directly involved in building some of the most desirable performance vehicles in the world.
Key Duties and Responsibilities
As a Valhalla Build Technician, you'll support daily build operations across multiple assembly stations, working closely with engineers, launch teams and fellow technicians throughout the build process.
- You'll be responsible for assembling vehicles in line with approved processes and standards, ensuring every task is completed safely, efficiently and to the highest quality requirements.
- Alongside vehicle assembly, you'll identify and escalate process issues, missing information and build concerns, helping to drive continuous improvement and support successful vehicle launches.
- You'll work alongside engineers and product specialists to investigate build challenges, contribute to problem-solving activities and help implement practical solutions when issues arise.
- Whether supporting trial fit activities, assisting with parts shortages, proving out new tooling and equipment or carrying out carbon fibre work, you'll play an important role in ensuring every vehicle is built correctly first time.
- As the programme develops, you'll also support training activities for main line technicians, helping to share knowledge and best practice on new models and processes.
- You'll contribute to Lean initiatives, housekeeping standards and first-line maintenance activities while remaining flexible to support wider team priorities when required.
