Production Engineer in Chertsey

We are partnering with an innovative engineering organisation to recruit a Production Engineer with experience in Electronic & Mechanical Assembly to join a growing and dynamic team. This is a hands-on, technically advanced role working on the assembly, development, and ongoing support of bespoke electronic and mechanical equipment. You will be involved in complex builds, working from detailed drawing packs and technical documentation, ensuring delivery to quality, schedule, and cost targets.

If you enjoy precision assembly, complex builds, and working in a high-spec engineering environment — this could be an excellent opportunity.

The Opportunity

Working as part of a developing technical team and reporting to senior operational leadership, you will support both development and production activities across the full product lifecycle. You'll contribute to new product introduction (NPI), early-stage builds, and ongoing product support — playing a key role in ensuring high standards of workmanship and compliance are consistently achieved.

Key Responsibilities

• Advanced Assembly & Build

  • Build complex units from detailed drawing packs, job cards, and technical documentation.
  • Interpret wiring diagrams, production drawings, test plans, and process instructions.
  • Form looms and wiring assemblies to required dimensional and visual standards.
  • Conduct soldering to recognised IPC standards (wire-to-wire, wire-to-terminal, etc.).
• Inspection & Quality
  • Inspect components and sub-assemblies to defined tolerances and specifications.
  • Identify defects prior to and during assembly processes.
  • Ensure compliance with IPC 610 and 620 standards (Class 3 desirable).
  • Perform basic calibration of torque tools and crimping equipment.
• Production & Operational Support
  • Support New Product Introduction (NPI) activities and early-stage builds.
  • Kit parts, tools, and materials to ensure correct assembly processes.
  • Maintain tools and equipment in calibrated, fit-for-purpose condition.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and waste reduction.
  • Support wider operational needs where required (goods inward, stock movement, facility support).
• Health, Safety & Standards
  • Maintain a safe, clean, and organised working environment.
  • Ensure all assembly activities meet quality and H&S requirements.

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 5 years' experience in a technical production or advanced assembly role.
• Strong electronic and mechanical assembly background.
• Experience working with complex drawing packs and technical documentation.
• Surface mount experience and IPC certification (Class 3 advantageous).
• Ability to read and interpret wiring diagrams and engineering drawings.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and confident use of hand tools and test equipment.
• Experience in manufacturing, repair, or modification of electronic systems.
• Competent using Microsoft Office and comfortable learning new software systems.
• Self-motivated, adaptable, and able to work independently.
• Eligible to obtain UK security clearance.

What’s on Offer

• Exposure across the full product lifecycle with genuine career progression opportunities.

• Flexible working within core hours.
• Competitive pension scheme.
• Private medical cover.
• Structured training and professional development support.
