Assistant Technical Officer (Full-Time / Entry-Level)

£25k - £27.5k per annum
Full-time

Location: East Midlands, UK (with travel to customer sites)

Pay: £25,000 - £27,500

Hours: Full-time, 37.5 hours per week (occasional overtime)

We are a growing technology start-up based in Wellingborough, East Midlands, developing and installing specialist hardware systems for public transport vehicles. Our work improves passenger experience and operational efficiency for bus operators across the UK. We value teamwork, flexibility, and a can-do attitude as we build our company and products together.

The opportunity

We’re looking for a practical, reliable, and enthusiastic Assistant Technical Officer to join our small technical team. Your main responsibility will be supporting the installation of our hardware on buses, with occasional light assembly work at our premises.

No prior experience is required — training and on-the-job support will be provided. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on technical work and wants to grow their skills within a friendly start-up environment.

Key responsibilities

  • Support light assembly and preparation of hardware in our workshop
  • Installation of required programming on equipment
  • Follow clear instructions and procedures for safe, accurate work
  • Maintain a strong focus on accuracy and high standards of occupational health and safety at all times
  • Assist with hardware installation on clients’ buses and coaches (wiring, brackets, equipment fitting and testing)
  • Travel with teammates to customer sites (occasional overnight stays)
  • Assist with customer support and troubleshooting when needed

We’re looking for …

  • A good level of spoken and written English (for following instructions and team communication)
  • Outgoing, proactive attitude — you’ll be working on-site and as part of a small team
  • Interest in electronics, mechanical work, or transport systems
  • Practical, hands-on mindset with attention to detail
  • Accuracy and a high awareness of occupational health and safety
  • Willingness to travel over the UK and work occasional overtime

Desirable but not essential

  • Level 2 qualifications (or equivalent) in relevant fields such as electrical installation, engineering, mechanical engineering, or vehicle maintenance are preferred.
  • We also welcome candidates with qualification and experience in software development and engineering.
  • Experience or a strong interest in electronics, mechanics, or transport systems.
  • Full UK driving licence (or with an exchangeable licence)

What We Offer

  • On-the-job training and clear procedures
  • Friendly, supportive team environment in a growing start-up
  • Opportunities for future progression into product development, engineering, or software roles
  • Help finding accommodation for candidates relocating
  • We welcome applicants on short-term working visas, including working holiday schemes

Pay & Benefits

  • £24,900 p.a. during probation (approx. £12.77 per hour)
  • £27,500 p.a. after successful 3-month probation (approx. £14.10 per hour)
  • Overtime opportunities (with overtime payment or days off in lieu)
  • Travel expenses covered when working off-site

How to Apply

Please send your CV and a short cover letter introducing yourself and explaining why this opportunity interests you to: ***email_hidden***. We look forward to hearing from practical, positive candidates who want to grow with us.

We will contact shortlisted candidates for an interview (online or in person). If you have any needs that we might need to know regarding the arrangements of the interview, please kindly let us know in the application.
