Department: Manufacturing Operations – SVO
Reports to: Group Leader
Grade: B
Location: Gaydon
Job Purpose
This is a rare opportunity to be part of one of Aston Martin's most exciting programmes!
As a Valhalla Build Technician, you'll join the Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) team and play a hands-on role in bringing one of Aston Martin's most advanced vehicles to life. Working within a highly skilled and passionate team, you'll be involved in the assembly of prototype vehicles, launch vehicles and production models, ensuring every component is fitted to the exacting standards expected of the Aston Martin brand.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with precision, takes pride in craftsmanship and wants to be directly involved in building some of the most desirable performance vehicles in the world.
Key Duties and Responsibilities
As a Valhalla Build Technician, you'll support daily build operations across multiple assembly stations, working closely with engineers, launch teams and fellow technicians throughout the build process.
You'll be responsible for assembling vehicles in line with approved processes and standards, ensuring every task is completed safely, efficiently and to the highest quality requirements. Alongside vehicle assembly, you'll identify and escalate process issues, missing information and build concerns, helping to drive continuous improvement and support successful vehicle launches.
You'll work alongside engineers and product specialists to investigate build challenges, contribute to problem-solving activities and help implement practical solutions when issues arise. Whether supporting trial fit activities, assisting with parts shortages, proving out new tooling and equipment or carrying out carbon fibre work, you'll play an important role in ensuring every vehicle is built correctly first time.
As the programme develops, you'll also support training activities for main line technicians, helping to share knowledge and best practice on new models and processes. You'll contribute to Lean initiatives, housekeeping standards and first-line maintenance activities while remaining flexible to support wider team priorities when required.
Experience and Qualifications
We're looking for someone with a genuine passion for vehicle assembly and an eye for detail.
You'll have strong manual dexterity, mechanical aptitude and a commitment to delivering exceptional quality. The ability to work accurately within defined processes, whilst also recognising opportunities for improvement, will be key to success in this role.
Previous experience within vehicle assembly, automotive production, repair or maintenance environments would be highly beneficial. Knowledge of Aston Martin's EASE system and assembly processes would be advantageous, as would general computer literacy.
An NVQ in Automotive Production, Repair or Maintenance would be desirable but is not essential. More important is your ability to learn quickly, work effectively as part of a team and support others through training and knowledge sharing.
Why Aston Martin?
This is more than a production role. It's an opportunity to be part of automotive history.
The Valhalla programme represents the future of Aston Martin performance, innovation and engineering excellence. As a Valhalla Build Technician, you'll play a direct role in bringing this extraordinary vehicle from concept to reality.
You'll work alongside highly skilled technicians, engineers and manufacturing specialists in an environment where quality, craftsmanship and teamwork are at the heart of everything we do. Every vehicle you help build will be a reflection of your skill, attention to detail and commitment to excellence.
If you're passionate about automotive engineering and want to be involved in creating something truly special, we'd love to hear from you.
