Surface Finish Technician

London, Greater London, United Kingdom DE&S Deca Full time
Job Summary

DE&S Deca is a specialist part of Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) dedicated to maintenance, repair, overhaul, upgrade, procurement and managed services provision across Defence electronics, components and general equipment support. We have a rich heritage as the MOD's in-house repair, offering innovative solutions to guarantee best value for Defence.

We equip our armed forces with the edge to protect our nation.

Our mission sets out our purpose in a compelling single statement. We make sure every service person in our Armed Forces is fully equipped, supported and protected, so they can defend our freedoms, liberties and way of life. Providing the right capabilities, both today and tomorrow, to maintain the UK's safety is at the heart of our mission.

The Role

As a Surface Finish Technician, you will prepare and refinish a wide range of equipment including ground equipment, woodwork, aircraft components, aircrew helmets and airborne gas cylinders.

You will restore and finish specialist coatings to equipment to a high standard, according to approved requirements and work instructions, using specific tools and equipment, such as pneumatic, airless and electrostatic systems.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including 25+ days' holiday, flexible and hybrid working, enhanced parental leave schemes, shopping discounts, and an exceptional employer pension contribution of around 27%, to help make work work for you.

This role requires you to have lived in the UK for the last 5 years and obtain SC security clearance. Clearance must be obtained without any caveats that prevent you from carrying out the role you've been recruited for. If it isn't obtained, or is obtained but with caveats that prevent you from carrying out the role, any conditional offer made to you will be withdrawn.

Being mindful of the scrutiny on Public Sector pay and in accordance with Civil Service Terms and Conditions, salary on appointment is normally at the minimum point of the salary range and this should therefore be the expectation. Existing Civil Servants will be appointed in line with the normal Civil Service pay rules.

This role is not open to applications from those who will require sponsorship under the points-based system. Should you apply for this role and be found to require sponsorship, your application will be rejected.
