Trainee technician
No experience required, and taught the way the founder was taught: at a bench, on real faults. You start on diagnosis and build toward the specialisms above, with your development treated as part of the job instead of a favour. JorTech exists because someone took an apprentice seriously, and we intend to keep that going.
The day
What the work actually is.
You start where the founder started: at the bench, on real faults rather than exercises. Early weeks are diagnosis: learning to look before touching, to test one thing at a time, to write down what you found and why.
The work grows as you do, toward whichever bench pulls you: field visits, data work, Apple hardware, builds. Professional development here is continual and treated as part of the job, for trainees most of all.
What you bring
You.
No experience required. What we cannot teach is the part you bring: curiosity about how things fail, care with other people's property, and the honesty to say you do not know yet and then go and find out. If you have fixed your own machine, or a mate's, tell us that story in the application. It counts.
In one line: Curious, careful, and honest about what you do not know yet. The rest can be taught.
What we put in writing
The terms, before you commit.
Pay is stated plainly in your first conversation with us, before any interviews. The hiring itself is five steps with nothing hidden: a person reads every application and you get an answer either way, the practical is real faults on a real bench, and if it is a yes, everything we agreed goes in writing before you commit to anything. Professional development is continual and treated as part of the job.
Worth reading first: How to get into this trade, with or without us.
The standard
Four rules. Nobody here is exempt.
- Find the fault before you quote. The diagnosis is the hard part, not the fix. Nobody here guesses at a price, and nobody swaps parts until the fault goes away.
- One fixed quote, kept. The customer is told what it costs before anything is opened, and the price does not move if the job takes longer than expected. That risk is ours to carry, not theirs.
- Never sell what is not needed. Nobody earns commission on parts, chases targets or works from a script, so there is nothing to upsell. Telling someone not to spend their money is part of the job.
- Treat their data as you would your own. Open only what the repair needs, copy nothing without a separate yes, and erase any copy within 30 days of the device going back.
How we hire
Five steps, nothing hidden.
- Apply
Use the form, or email careers@jortech.co.uk with your CV attached. PDF or Word are both fine. One true story about a job beats a page of skills.
- A person reads it
Every application is read by a person, and every applicant gets an answer either way. Being ignored is the norm in hiring. It will not happen here.
- The first conversation
A real conversation about real work. We tell you the pay in it, plainly, before any interviews.
- The bench
A practical with real faults on real machines, not brainteasers. We care how you think, what you check first, and how you say the words “I do not know yet”.
- An offer in writing
If it is a yes, everything we agreed goes in writing before you commit to anything. The same rule our customers get.
