Manufacturing Technician – Find Your Place at LEX Diagnostics

Looking for a role where you can rely on consistent work, be part of a genuinely supportive team, and develop your skills without heavy handed management.

At LEX Diagnostics, you’ll find exactly that.

We’re building something meaningful, diagnostic technology that helps patients get answers faster, but just as important is how we work together to make it happen. You’ll join a friendly, close-knit manufacturing team where people look out for each other, managers trust you to get on with your job, and your contribution is valued every day.

What your day will feel like
You’ll be hands-on, working with a small, approachable team to produce high-quality diagnostic consumables. No silos, no being left in the dark, just clear priorities, steady workflows, and colleagues who’ve got your back.
  • Work side by side with a supportive, down to earth team
  • Keep production running smoothly without unnecessary pressure
  • Spot and solve issues early, with the freedom to speak up to help improve things
This is a place where you can settle in, build confidence, and take pride in what you produce, without constant oversight.

For now, we are working 09:00 to 17:30 Monday to Friday, but the team is moving towards working alternate earlies and lates shift pattern 06:00 to 14:15 and 13:45 to 22:00 Monday to Friday

Why people stay here
This isn’t just a stepping stone, it’s somewhere you can grow.
  • Consistent work in a stable, scaling company
  • Friendly, low ego team where manufacturing is highly valued and people support each other
  • Managers who trust you, no micromanaging, just guidance when you need it
  • A respectful environment where you can focus and do your best work
  • Real development opportunities as we grow, learn new skills and progress your career
Why now?
LEX Diagnostics has reached an exciting milestone, we’ve been granted 510(k) clearance in the U.S., meaning our products are approved and ready for market.

For you, that means stability and real momentum. You’ll be joining at a point where production is scaling up, work is consistent, and what you do each day directly supports a diagnostic tool that will be making an impact. It’s a chance to be part of something established and growing, where you can build your skills and progress as the company expands.

Requirements
What you’ll bring
You don’t need to be perfect, you just need the right mindset.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys hands on work, values teamwork, and takes ownership of what they do:
  • Practical electronic or mechanical assembly experience and attention to detail
  • Confidence working with others and communicating clearly
  • Experience with stock or materials management
  • Cleanroom experience (ISO 13485 or cGMP is ideal, but not essential)
  • Familiarity with Quality Management Systems is helpful
  • A positive, can do attitude when things need fixing
Benefits
What you’ll get in return
We’ve built a package that supports your life, not just your work.
  • 10% employer pension contribution (+3% personal)
  • Private medical insurance & life insurance (family cover)
  • 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays
  • Discounts on local sports facilities and theatres
