About The Big Phone Store

We are one of the UK’s fastest-growing consumer technology refurbishers, and our Wolverhampton technical centre is experiencing record demand. To support our continued expansion, we’re looking for highly skilled refurbishment technicians to join our advanced device processing line.

The Role

You will work within our display restoration unit, specialising in the refurbishment of modern smartphone screens. This includes high-precision tasks such as optical bonding, layer separation, glass renewal and display module reconstruction (previously known as re-lamination or reglassing). This is a performance-driven, high-volume environment where accuracy and consistency are essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Restore and rebuild smartphone display modules through advanced refurbishment processes (e.g., optical bonding, layer separation, glass renewal).
• Operate within a structured, multi-stage production line to meet quality and output targets.
• Provide support, guidance, and hands‑on training to less experienced technicians.
• Lead small groups and carry out quality validation on completed units.
• Communicate effectively with team leaders (clear written and spoken English required).
• Contribute ideas for improving workflow efficiency, tooling, and output consistency.

What We Require

• Prior experience in device display refurbishment, optical bonding, mobile device repair, or electronics restoration.
• Confidence handling one or more stages of a technical, step-based refurbishment process.
• Strong attention to microscopic detail and pride in precise workmanship.
• Ability to mentor, train, or motivate junior members of the team.
• A reliable, team-oriented attitude with a focus on quality and improvement.

Salary & Development

• £30,000 – £55,000, depending on technical capability and ability to train others.
• Clear pathways to senior technician and team leadership roles.

Visa Sponsorship – Important Information

We may consider Skilled Worker Visa sponsorship, but only for candidates who already demonstrate strong, proven experience in advanced display refurbishment and the ability to lead or train others.

Sponsorship is not guaranteed.

Applicants applying solely for visa sponsorship will not be considered.

Only genuine, highly skilled applicants with demonstrable experience will progress.

Why Work With Us?

• Be part of a rapidly scaling, innovation-focused refurbishment centre.
• Your expertise will directly shape how we continue to grow our operations.
• Supportive environment with opportunities for progression.
• Relocation support and visa consideration for exceptional candidates.

Application Process

We maintain a high technical standard. Expect a comprehensive practical and skills-based assessment as part of the selection process. Only candidates with relevant, demonstrable experience will be contacted.
