Job Title: Laboratory Technician
Location: Redditch
Salary: £26,000 – £32,000 (DOE)
Hours: 4-day week | Monday to Thursday, 06:00 – 16:00

About the Role

We’re hiring a reliable and detail-focused Laboratory Technician to join our Redditch-based team within the Test Piece Machining Division. This role is primarily lab-based but includes some shop floor involvement, especially for collecting and analysing process solutions.

Candidates with experience in manual machining—such as manual lathes, milling machines, bandsaws, and Fanuc-controlled CNC lathes—will be preferred, as this supports the division’s operational needs.

After training, you’ll be expected to work independently, follow strict procedures, and deliver results to tight deadlines.
