???? Carrickfergus | ???? £27,000 | ???? Monday to Friday | Flexible Start Times
Are you practically minded with an interest in how things work? Looking to build your experience in a hands-on technical environment? This could be the role for you.

Our client, a specialist manufacturer based in Carrickfergus, is seeking a Production & Test Technician to join their small, close-knit team. You don’t need to have formal qualifications in engineering—but an understanding or curiosity around how systems and electronics work is key. If you’ve worked in a technical, assembly, repair, or quality-focused role before, this is a great opportunity to develop your skills further.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Assembling and testing products, including light mechanical and soldering work
• Troubleshooting and repairing electronic systems (down to component level)
• Inspecting incoming parts and ensuring quality standards are met
• Using test equipment to carry out functional checks
• Documenting test results and updating internal systems
• Supporting other departments when needed with technical or product queries
• Raising part requests and flagging any non-conforming items
• Contributing to product improvements by submitting change suggestions

What We’re Looking For:

• Previous experience in a hands-on technical or production environment (2+ years)
• Comfortable using tools, reading diagrams, and following test instructions
• Good computer skills – especially Microsoft Office
• A basic understanding of electronics or engineering principles
• Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach to your work
• Good communication skills and the ability to work well in a small team

What’s On Offer:

• Competitive salary of £27,000
• Monday to Friday schedule with flexible start times
• Supportive team environment
• Great opportunity to grow your technical skillset
• Varied and engaging role in a niche manufacturing setting
