Looking for a person interested in working with tools and their hands to assemble delicate seismometer devices/mechanical assemblies.

More specialised interests often emerge from this work, and training opportunities for those interests are supported.

Training will take place one day a week at college and the remaining time in the employer's workplace

The course offers progression to the HNC and is a recognised means of career progression within the engineering industry

Your primary responsibility would be for building the latest generation of seismometer instruments and hardware, designed by world-leading scientists in this field, with a long-term orientation towards instrument and device electronics manufacturing and testing, as well as contributions to circuit design improvements.
