Electronics Wiring Technician - 6-month Contract

Location: Stafford
Rate: £25-29/hour

Duration: 6 months (potential of rolling extension)

About the Role
We are seeking an Electronics Wiring Technician to support our Engine Electronic Systems Team. This is a practical, workshop-based role focused on building and maintaining bespoke electrical load boxes and test equipment-supporting the development and validation of advanced control systems for engines and powertrains.

This is not a design engineering role, but a highly skilled hands-on position ideal for candidates with strong experience in wiring, harness assembly, and electrical test systems.

Key Responsibilities:

Reading and interpreting electrical schematics and pinouts
Assembling and mechanically constructing test boxes to engineering specifications (including drilling, tapping, and using hand tools)
Wiring and assembling test harnesses (cutting, crimping, soldering, connector assembly)
Supporting multiple priority projects and ensuring timely delivery
Collaborating with engineers and internal teams to understand test needs
Using basic PC tools (Microsoft Office, Teams, Outlook)Desirable Additional Skills:

Creating technical sketches or basic design layouts
Selecting and sourcing suitable components for electrical builds
Planning and estimating time for build tasks
Diagnosing and resolving wiring issues using tools like multimeters or oscilloscopes
Familiarity with tools like Microsoft VisioWhat We're Looking For:

Proven hands-on experience in electronic/electrical equipment assembly.
Background in panel wiring and harness building.
A technical qualification such as a Level 3 apprenticeship, HNC, or equivalent experience.
Experience in control systems, automotive, electrical, or mechanical engineering environments.
A proactive approach to safety and process improvement.

This role provides unique exposure to evolving electronics technologies and offers excellent professional development in a dynamic and supportive environment.
