Full job description

About us

RetroCameraFix restores and sells vintage 35mm film cameras, mainly to people using vintage cameras for the first time. We're a small workshop in Camberwell of only a few people, a lot of cameras, and a genuinely calm place to work.

The role

Our current repair technician is leaving in mid-September to travel. We're looking for the person who takes over their bench.

You don't need to have repaired a camera before. What matters is that you're good with your hands on small, precise work, you learn quickly and are technically competent. We want you confident in basic Olympus Trip 35 repairs by the end of Autumn.

What you'll be doing

Starting out:

Unpacking, inspecting and assessing incoming cameras
Cleaning, prepping, and replacing light seals
Testing light meters, camera exposure, and focus
Final quality checks and packing finished cameras

Within a couple of months, working from our written procedures and training videos:

Full servicing and repair of our core camera (the Olympus Trip 35): disassembly, cleaning, reassembly, calibration
Diagnosing faults and following repair processes to remedy faults
Helping us document and improve how repairs get done

Who we're looking for

Four things matter most:

Meticulous, careful work. These are 50-year-old cameras with small parts and very limited spares. We'd rather one camera done properly than two done quickly.
Organised, punctual and reliable. We're a small team, cameras are often sold to customers giving presents, and there's nobody to cover a bench that's empty. If turning up on time and keeping track of your own work sounds like a chore, this isn't the job.
Technically competent with your hands. Comfortable with tools, processes, and working out how a mechanism fits together.
A real interest in film photography or vintage cameras. Strongly preferred. The people who do well here are the ones who intrinsically care about what happens to the camera after it leaves.

Hands-on precision experience of any kind is useful (but not absolutely necessary) even if it has nothing to do with cameras. For example:

Watch or clock repair, jewellery, electronics or soldering
Bike, car or motorbike mechanics
Model-making, 3D printing, prop-making
Any trade or craft involving small tolerances and patience

No formal qualifications needed. Full training provided.

What you get

Paid, hands-on training in a real repair skill that very few people have
Flexible hours, Monday to Friday
Yearly bonus
Staff discount on cameras, and 35mm film at cost price
A quiet, supportive workshop
Podcasts and music at the bench, once you're comfortable and confident with the repair processes
Room to grow into a full camera repair technician role as we expand

How to apply

Apply through Indeed and answer the few quick questions on the application form.

Everyone who meets the basics is then sent a short application form of our own. It takes about 10 minutes - we only invite people who complete it.

From there, shortlisted applicants come in for a paid trial day. That's the interview: you'll do real work, we'll see how you take to it, and you'll see whether you like it.

Pay: £10.85-£12.71 per hour

Ability to commute/relocate:

Camberwell SE5: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (required)

Work authorisation:

United Kingdom (required)

Work Location: In person
