We are looking for an Operations Engineer to join our Christchurch, Dorset team!

As an Operations Engineer for our Christchurch location, you will be responsible for bridging the gap between Production Engineering and Design Engineers.

They are responsible for resolving technical challenges with minimal disruption to manufacturing or design engineering. This role requires broad engineering skills, primarily in electronics, but may also include mechanical expertise.

Location: Christchurch, Dorset
