Job Description:

Salary: £29,000-32,500

Leonardo UK operates a grade-based salary framework with broad bands. The salary range shown reflects the approved grade band for this role, or a narrower hiring range published within that band, and is bench marked against the external market. Exceptions above the standard range are managed through governance controls to protect internal equity.

Your Impact

We are looking for a Manufacturing Technician to join our Southampton site. In this role you will be required to perform highly precise manual assembly and finishing operations on small, delicate, or high-tolerance components where exceptional hand dexterity, steady control, and attention to microscopic detail are critical to product quality and safety.

What you will do as a Manufacturing Technician

Assemble micro-scale or high-precision components using hand tools, tweezers, microscopes, or magnification systems
Perform fine alignment, fitting, and adjustment of components within extremely tight tolerances
Handle fragile materials (e.g. micro-electronics, thin wires, miniature fasteners, precision springs) without damage
Conduct detailed visual inspections to identify defects not detectable by automated systems
Execute repetitive, detail-intensive tasks while maintaining consistent quality over extended periods
Follow exacting work instructions, schematics, and standard operating procedures
Maintain cleanroom or controlled-environment discipline where required
Accurately document assembly steps, quality checks, and deviations
Collaborate with quality and engineering teams to resolve precision-related issues

What you’ll bring

Exceptional fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
Ability to manipulate extremely small parts with consistent accuracy
Steady hands with minimal tremor under magnification
High tactile sensitivity and spatial awareness
Strong visual acuity (with or without corrective lenses)
Ability to maintain focus on intricate tasks for long durations
Superior attention to detail and error detection
Patience and discipline in repetitive precision work
Previous work in precision manufacturing, micro-assembly, electronics, medical devices, jewellery, watchmaking, or similar fields
Manufacturing / Production working environment (Cleanroom & Temperature and Humidity Controlled)
Familiarity with precision hand tools and micro-assembly equipment

This is not an exhaustive list, and we are keen to hear from you even if you might not have experience in all the above. The most important skill is a good attitude and willingness to learn.
