Full-Time | Permanent | Monday–Friday, 8.30am–4.30pm | Immediate Start

We are looking for a careful, precise and practical person to join our team as a Hallmarking Technician, applying hallmarks to precious metal jewellery by hand.

This is a hands-on role where you will use hallmarking punches, hammers and small hand tools to accurately mark jewellery. The work requires patience, concentration and a very high level of manual dexterity, as you will be working with small, valuable items where accuracy and care are essential.

Previous jewellery experience is highly desirable, and jobbing jewellers will have a particular advantage. However, previous hallmarking experience is not essential, as full training will be provided in-house.

What we're looking for

Excellent manual dexterity and good hand-eye coordination
Very good eyesight and the ability to work accurately with small items
Exceptional attention to detail
A careful and methodical approach to work
The ability to follow detailed processes and instructions consistently
Someone who takes pride in producing high-quality work
A patient and focused approach
Reliability and a good work ethic
Previous experience as a jobbing jeweller or in jewellery manufacturing would be a significant advantage

The role includes

Applying hallmarks to precious metal jewellery using punches, hammers and specialist hand tools
Working accurately to established processes and quality standards
Managing a varied daily workload and working to schedules
Maintaining a clean and organised workstation
Taking care of jewellery and equipment at all times
Completing full in-house training in our hallmarking processes and equipment

What we offer

Full time, permanent employment
Monday to Friday, 8.30am–4.30pm
Immediate start available
Living Wage Employer
Full training provided in-house

If you have experience as a jeweller, particularly as a jobbing jeweller, and enjoy detailed, precision work, we would love to hear from you.
