Build Products That Keep Britain Connected
At Hughes Electronics, we don't just manufacture products. We build the specialist telecommunications equipment that helps keep the UK's mobile networks running.
Every cable, connector and assembly that leaves our workshop supports critical communications infrastructure. That's why quality, precision and attention to detail matter so much.
We're looking for someone who enjoys making things, takes pride in doing a job properly and wants to develop specialist technical skills in a growing British manufacturing business.
If you naturally keep yourself busy, enjoy working with your hands and like seeing the results of your work at the end of the day, we'd love to hear from you.
About the Role
As a Production & Assembly Technician, you'll become part of a skilled manufacturing team producing high-quality telecommunications products for customers across the UK.

- Following detailed assembly instructions and engineering standards
- Carrying out quality checks throughout the manufacturing process

- Working with colleagues to achieve production targets and customer deadlines
- Looking for better, safer and more efficient ways of working
Every product leaving our workshop represents Hughes Electronics. We believe anything worth building is worth building properly.
