Assistant Workshop Technician

Job Summary:

An Assistant Workshop Technician is regarded as someone who can assist in the 'first line' fault finding on equipment and undertake routine maintenance. In many cases, the Assistant Workshop Technician will be required to assist the Workshop Technician in more complex technical activities such as component level fault finding, system set-up and calibration.

In practise there is some overlap between Assistant Workshop Technician and the Workshop Technician grades. It is not the intention of this programme to limit the technical activities undertaken by a Assistant Workshop Technician when they are clearly capable of undertaking some of the responsibilities of the Workshop Technician grade, with the consent of the Senior Workshop Technician or Workshop Manager.

Entry Level Specifications:

  • Minimum HNC in Electrical or Mechanical Discipline
