Job Description

Location: Scunthorpe, UK
Work mode: Fully on-site
Employment type: Full-time, permanent
Reports to: Production Manager

At Hyperion Robotics, we are cutting carbon and energy use from the ground up. We design and manufacture low-carbon, robotically produced concrete foundations for critical UK infrastructure, and our production environment combines advanced manufacturing with practical, hands-on concrete operations. We are now growing our on-site team in Scunthorpe and are hiring Production Technicians to support the daily operation of our production workflow.

This is an essential hands-on role responsible for helping run and support Hyperion’s 3D-printing micro-factory. The core purpose of the role is to safely and efficiently execute all steps of the production process, from incoming quality checks and pre-casting preparation through casting, finishing, cleaning, repair, and final quality control.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys practical work, takes pride in quality, and wants to be part of a team producing tangible outputs every day. You might come from concrete, precast, ready-mix, formwork, groundworks, bricklaying, plastering, or another wet-process production environment where safety, teamwork, and attention to detail matter.

What It Means In Practice:

• Performing quality control checks on incoming inserts, completing checklists, and identifying, correcting, and reporting non-conformities.

• Handling inserts during print preparation, in-print, and post-print stages, while following drawings, instructions, and reinforcement handling methods.

• Preparing formworks, tools, equipment, curing checks, slump-flow test setups, and specimen moulds before casting starts.

• Supporting truck arrival checks by verifying documentation, helping with slump-flow testing, and preparing and labelling cube specimens when required.

• Supporting safe and controlled casting execution, including hose movement, communication during live pours, monitoring flowability, and spotting defects such as air pockets, segregation, overflow, or under-filled sections.

• Finishing surfaces to the required standard and cleaning tools, hoses, disposal units, and working areas after casting.

• Carrying out repair work on concrete in line with SOPs, supporting compressive strength testing when requested, and helping maintain and calibrate QC tools and equipment.

• Rotating between production roles as needed and supporting the wider team during physically demanding and time-sensitive tasks.

• Escalating safety concerns, defects, delays, and improvement ideas clearly and promptly.

To Succeed In This Role, We Expect:

• You have hands-on experience with concrete, precast, ready-mix, casting, formwork, groundworks, bricklaying, plastering, or similar wet-process work.

• You are comfortable using practical production tools and equipment such as vibrators, hoses, pumps, buckets, trowels, cleaning tools, tape measures, or similar machinery.

• You can follow structured instructions, SOPs, checklists, drawings, and production steps carefully.

• You understand why quality procedures matter and can carry out visual checks, basic material tests, specimen preparation, and production quality logging.

• You can spot likely causes of defects, bottlenecks, unsafe conditions, missing tools, or material issues and raise them early.

• You are motivated by hands-on work, tangible production output, and getting the job done safely and correctly.

• You take pride in quality finishes, clean work areas, and reducing rework.

• You have a strong safety-first mindset and are willing to stop and escalate if something looks unsafe or likely to cause a quality failure.

• You communicate clearly, stay calm under pressure, and work well in a rotating-role team where timing and coordination matter.

• You are open to direct feedback, practical coaching, and learning quickly in a live production environment.

What we offer:

• Fair salary reflecting the market rate and our organizational structure

• Private medical insurance

• Workplace pension scheme

• 25 annual leave days + statutory holidays

• Well-being coaching platform

• Hands-on work with real responsibility in daily manufacturing operations

• A team-based environment where quality, safety, and continuous improvement matter every day
