Work with Fixfactor
Independent electronics repair in London. We’re built on transparency, quality, and treating every customer’s device like it matters. We’re looking for people who share those standards.
Device Repair Technician
(Level 3–4)
The workshop
Our Wimbledon location is a street-level repair shop on Kingston Road — it’s been here since 2014 and has a genuine local, family feel. Regular customers come back year after year, and the shop has a strong reputation in the area. This isn’t a coworking space or a sterile office — it’s a proper workshop where real work gets done.
Why we’re hiring
Adam runs Wimbledon and has been with Fixfactor for over 8 years. Over time he’s specialised in complex component-level repairs — motherboard work, microsoldering, advanced diagnostics — which means he has less time for the volume of standard phone and laptop repairs that come through the door. We need another pair of skilled hands to take on repairs alongside him and keep turnaround times where our customers expect them.
The Role
You need existing experience with device repairs. This can range from confident modular-level work (screens, batteries, charging ports) to component-level board repair and microsoldering. What matters is that you can pick up a device, diagnose the fault, and carry out a repair to a high standard.
If your current skills are solid but you want to go further — microsoldering, advanced motherboard diagnostics, data recovery — we’ll invest in your development. Adam has the expertise and the equipment to train you, provided you demonstrate the reliability and work ethic to justify that investment.
You’ll be working alongside Adam day-to-day. The pace varies — some days are busy with walk-ins and bookings, other days are focused on longer, more involved repairs. Quality and keeping deadlines are non-negotiable: when we tell a customer their device will be ready, it needs to be ready.
What We’re Looking For
- Hands-on repair experience — you should be comfortable diagnosing and fixing phones, laptops, or tablets without supervision
- For candidates with Level 3–4 skills (component-level, microsoldering): pay starts at the higher end of the range
- For candidates with strong modular repair skills and a genuine desire to progress: we’ll support your development into advanced techniques with hands-on mentoring from Adam
- Self-motivated, reliable, and able to manage your own workload
- Transparent and honest — if something goes wrong during a repair, we need to know, not discover it later
- Existing right to work in the UK without sponsorship — e.g., British or Irish citizenship, Indefinite Leave to Remain, or Settled Status under the EU Settlement Scheme. We’re a small business and unable to sponsor work visas
What We Offer
- £13–15/hour depending on your current skill level, reviewed regularly based on output and progression
- Learn from an experienced technician — Adam has 8+ years of repair expertise and the equipment to back it up: professional microscopes, thermal imaging, microsoldering stations
- Cross-training across modular repairs, diagnostics and data recovery
- Supportive, small team where quality comes first and your work is recognised
- 21 days holiday per year plus bank holidays (29 days total)
- Workplace pension with employer contribution under auto-enrolment
- 6-month probation period with review
