About us
Stoane Lighting is an Employee-Owned design-led manufacturer of high-end architectural light fittings. We are a market leader in sustainability and our products are specified globally by lighting consultants, architects, consultant engineers and design specialists into a variety of building environments.
These include heritage projects such as Museums and Galleries, historic buildings, and places of worship. We also work on commercial office developments, residential, retail and hospitality projects.
All products are manufactured to order and assembled at our UK facility. Beyond our standard range of products, we manufacture variations of them, as well as fully bespoke products.
We have a solid base of local subcontractors who make components to our design, and we also have a capable workshop that is used for bespoke one offs and small to medium sized component runs.
We pride ourselves on our tailored and sustainable approach to manufacturing and we offer a very high level of customer service to our valued client base.
Job Description
Note: CV will not be considered unless accompanied by covering letter.
Assembling light fittings, which involves following instruction manuals and verbal instructions, using hand tools and common assembly practices.
At SL, each project is unique, providing plenty of variety. While learning standard fittings, you’ll gain in-depth knowledge, but rarely on a repetitive scale.
Due to diversity and often bespoke nature of our product, assembly at SL bears little resemblance to assembly lines in a large automotive or electronics company. Thanks to that varied environment and opportunities to work in our workshop, each position in the company is unique allowing for progression in different directions throughout the organization. The products and company are constantly evolving, and we very much believe in encouraging staff to contribute by means of ideas as well as hard work.
ReNew is a new division of Stoane Lighting that has been set up in response to the increased interest in repair or upgrade requirements. Our products are designed so that they can easily be disassembled, have internal components replaced, upgraded and eventually parts recycled. This position could include site work, helping our team renew, refurbish, and recycle our luminaires either onsite in our portable workshop/truck or at our Edinburgh factory.
