Electrical Test Technician, Night Shift | Bolton | Up to £57,900 (including shift allowance)

Finished your electrical apprenticeship, know your way round a drawing pack and a bench full of test kit, and happy to work nights if the money's right?

Then this is worth two minutes of your time.

You'll be testing and certifying electrical hardware builds, everything from small fixtures right through to complete missile systems. Each build comes to you assembled. Your job is to prove it meets its drawings and specifications before it goes anywhere else.

Some of it is in development, some is in full production, so the work changes as programmes move through their lifecycle. You'll be working from assembly drawings, planning instructions and test specifications, using the site's manufacturing test equipment, tools and measuring instruments, and completing the manufacturing documentation that gives every build its traceability.

Nights suit people who like getting on with it. There's less noise, less interruption and more trust. You'll still have Engineering and Quality to call on when a build throws up a problem, and they'll want your feedback on how the process can be improved.

The team is big and genuinely mixed, from apprentices to long-serving skilled technicians. Friendly, but the standard of workmanship is high, because the kit has to work.

The shift pattern is as follows: 19:30 - 06:30 Monday to Wednesday, 19:30 - 03:00 on Thursday

What's in it for you

• £43,537 base salary, plus a night shift allowance of 33% on top
• Paid overtime available
• Company bonus of up to £2,500 (based on company performance)
• Pension with up to 14% combined contribution
• Up to 15 additional flexi leave days
• Subsidised meals and free on-site parking
• Healthcare cash plan, plus enhanced parental leave of up to 26 weeks

What you'll need

• A completed Level 3 apprenticeship in electrical engineering or manufacturing (Advanced Apprenticeship or L3 Standard)
• The Level 3 academic qualification (ONC, national diploma or equivalent) and the Level 3 NVQ that go with it
• Confidence reading assembly drawings, planning instructions and test specifications
• Hands-on experience with electrical test equipment, tools and measuring instruments
• The self-discipline to work to a high standard without close supervision
• Willingness to work nights, fully on-site in Bolton

Nice to have

• Previous electrical testing experience in defence, aerospace or another high reliability manufacturing environment
• Experience of 5S and continuous improvement on the shop floor
