You need to have the ability to respond to customer "I need it now" requirements and yet still plan strategically for the future growth of the business. We are looking for someone who can fine-tune our SMT processes and has a "hands on" approach with the capacity to make things work. We are investing heavily in capital equipment and in the light of our cellular manufacturing approach we need to make the SMT processes work harder for our customers, and for us. We believe this is an exciting role that gives an innovative and organised individual something to get their teeth into. What we require is that you:
• Have a HND/HNC or a degree
• Know SMT Processes as well as anybody out there, including the legislation of WEEE and RoHS. You will be responsible for a huge range of processes that will develop and grow with our business needs.
