Job description

Brighton, Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom

Built on Circular Economy thinking, Tech-Takeback is a not-for-profit company on a mission to change the UK’s approach to electrical waste. We collect a wide range of electricals from peoples’ doorsteps; from old laptops and tablets to sat navs and toasters. And we give them a second life – even the ones that are broken!

We securely data-wipe all items using our certificated data-erasure process. Then, we repair or refurbish anything we can, for redistribution to the most vulnerable groups in our community. Anything we can’t repurpose is sent to our recycling partners, who extract raw materials for reuse in manufacture. So far, our unique approach has:

• Diverted 30 tonnes of electricals from landfill
• Saved 1.3 tonnes of CO2e through reuse and recycling
• Redistributed 7,000 items to local charities

RevaluRepair Manager: The role

Tech-Takeback has recently opened Revaluit; an exciting “pay what you can” shop for refurbished electrical goods. We are now seeking a Repair Manager to help us assess, repair and refurbish our donated technology from our RevaluElectricals service for sale in our shop, and to provide training to help others develop similar skills.

We’re looking for someone practical, with an eye for detail, who likes hands-on problem-solving and is happy to work both independently and with others. You’ll work with the team to create a new repair space at the Revalu it shop, and will need to be flexible enough to work between the warehouse and the shop.

This is a full-time, fixed-term contract until 31 March 2023. Salary £22-£25k p/a dependent on experience.

Role and responsibilities:

• Work with the project team to create a multi criteria assessment tool to decide which items should be repaired and which should not.
• Troubleshoot and repair donated stock (target 1,000 items), including:
  • Preparing donated tech for the shop shelves; cleaning, servicing and performing repairs
  • PAT testing electrical goods to ensure they’re safe (training provided)
  • Performing certified data-erasure (training provided)
  • researching and experimenting with using technology such as 3D printing to create parts
• Work with the project manager and shop manager to recruit and train volunteers to undertake product repairs and sell them to the public
• Work with our charity partners to provide skills training to long-term unemployed, homeless and disabled people
• Respond to stock requests from the shop team; prioritising repairs of in-demand items
• Actively participate in team meetings; sharing experiences, ideas and skills
• Work with the wider team to constantly improve the systems and service
• Work with the wider team to pilot pop-up repair clinics

Who we’re looking for:

• Experienced in the repair and refurbishment of small electrical goods
• Reliable and punctual
• Practical and willing to get stuck in
• Able to work both independently and collaboratively
• Experience of coordinating and/or training others
• Confident software user
• An understanding of the legalities of handling data-carrying devices
• Experience of coordinating and/or training volunteers
• Experience of, or an understanding of the principles of, 3D printing
• A trained and experienced PAT tester
• Experience of secure data erasure
• A clean UK drivers’ licence (access to a vehicle would be helpful)
