About You

Here are some of the things we think will make you likely to succeed in this role:

• Experience working for a medium to high volume manufacturer in an Assembler, Quality Assurance, or Engineering Technician capacity
• Outstanding attention to detail and a commitment to producing the very best quality
• Ability to follow formal producers and work instructions
• Being a self-motivated individual who can achieve and succeed under minimal supervision

We’d love to see that you have technical skills or experience in a similar role. However, this is absolutely not a deal breaker!
