• Consistently meet key performance indicators (KPIs) including right-first-time (RFT), efficiency, cost, and service levels
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and support ongoing process development
• Meet deadlines and performance targets set by the Assembly Team Leader
• Build and maintain strong working relationships across the assembly team and Manufacturing functions
• Promptly report any Health and Safety concerns or near misses to the Assembly Team Leader

Performance Standards

• High-quality, efficient and safe assembly and engineering work.
• Strong fault-finding, problem-solving, and time management skills.
• Consistent focus on customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.
• Key performance targets:
• Zero LTAs (Lost Time Accidents)
• Right First Time (RFT): >95%
• Efficiency: >90%
• On-time Delivery: >95%

• Experience in electronics assembly or engineering ideally educated to HNC level or equivalent within a manufacturing environment
• Strong understanding of electronic assembly techniques and best engineering practices
• Proven track record working to high-quality standards and Health & Safety regulations
