ABOUT US
Are you someone who speaks fluent Raspberry Pi? Do you talk to robots more than humans some days? Ever bodged a circuit with whatever was on hand, and been weirdly proud of it? Then welcome - this could be your place.
At UCL East, we’re building more than a campus. We’re building a future. Situated in the heart of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, this is UCL’s boldest move since we were founded. We’re disrupting boundaries, forging unexpected collaborations, and building spaces that invite experimentation. UCL East is home to thinkers, doers, coders, builders, problem-solvers - and ideally, you.
Our Innovation Laboratory sits at the centre of this storm of creativity. With cutting-edge facilities and a mission to break out of silos, we’re creating the kind of environment where real change begins. And we’re proud to be based in Newham - one of the UK’s most diverse boroughs - where that change can be driven by anyone, from anywhere.
We’ve already opened the doors to two state-of-the-art buildings, and this is just the beginning. If you like your learning hands-on, your code clean (mostly), and your ideas just a little bit wild, we think you’ll fit right in. Oh, and one of our brilliant students has even made a video tour of the lab, so please check it out!
ABOUT THE ROLE
Not all superheroes wear lab coats.
Some wear workshop boots, carry a multimeter, and keep everything running behind the scenes.
We’re hiring a tech all-rounder at UCL East’s Innovation Lab.
We’re looking for someone who understands that the magic happens somewhere between the solder fumes and the server room. As our new Innovation Laboratory Technician, you’ll help run one of the most exciting technical spaces in UCL—where breadboards battle 3D printers, laser cutters hum in the background, and motion-capture rigs quietly track the dance of data.
The Innovation Lab is a flexible, dry lab used for both structured teaching and experimental drop-ins. You’ll help keep it running at peak performance, making sure students and staff have the tools (and the know-how) to bring their ideas to life. From electronics and coding to CNC machining and CAD, your job is to help make it all happen - safely, smoothly, and with just the right amount of creative chaos.
You’ll also dip into our Light Fabrication Workshop, a smaller but mighty space geared toward ecology, adaptive tech and rapid prototyping. Whether it’s troubleshooting a laser cutter, teaching someone how not to toast their breadboard, or helping a team bodge together a brilliant last-minute prototype, you’ll be at the heart of it all.
This isn’t just about keeping the lights on. It’s about creating the kind of environment where sparks fly - in the best possible way.
