About us
OG Repairs is a specialist gaming repair workshop. We're best known for our custom PS5 controllers and controller repairs, and we also repair consoles: overheating services, HDMI port replacements, and no-power fault diagnosis all come through the bench.
The role
We're looking for an experienced Electronics Repair Technician to join our growing team. This is a hands-on role focused on controller and console repair, fault diagnosis, and board-level troubleshooting.
You'll be working on PlayStation controllers and consoles daily, from stick drift, Hall effect and TMR upgrades, and back button installs through to HDMI faults, overheating services, and deeper board-level issues. This role suits someone who already has at least 1 year of electronics repair experience and is comfortable diagnosing faults rather than just following swap-and-replace steps.
If you've worked on phones, laptops, or other consumer electronics, or you come from an electrical or electronics engineering background, you'll already have the core skills: soldering, hot air rework, multimeter diagnostics, and reading a board. You'll transition very easily into console and controller repair, and we'll bring you up to speed on the rest.
An interest in gaming and hardware is a big plus.
What you'll do
Repair and mod gaming controllers, and repair consoles (overheating, HDMI, no-power faults)
Fault-find using multimeters, thermal camera and standard diagnostic tools
Identify shorts, damaged components, and board-level issues
Carry out soldering and hot air work (stick modules, HDMI ports, connectors, components)
Carry out quality-focused work from intake through to final testing
Document faults and repairs clearly within our workflow systems
Support the wider team in meeting daily repair targets and deadlines
Help maintain an organised, efficient repair workspace
What we're looking for
At least 1 year of hands-on electronics repair experience, or an electrical/electronics engineering background with practical bench skills
Confident using a multimeter for diagnostics and fault finding
Comfortable with soldering, hot air, and component-level repairs
Experience finding shorts on boards (voltage injection experience is a strong advantage)
Familiarity with IC-level work, reballing, or microsoldering is a strong advantage
Able to work methodically, at a good pace, and follow repair processes
Good attention to detail and pride in repair quality
Clear written English for job notes
Reliable, punctual, and self-motivated
Right to work in the UK
Relevant backgrounds (not essential, but ideal)
Mobile phone repair technician
Laptop / computer repair technician
Electrical or electronics engineer
Electronics maintenance or field technician
Console or controller repair and modding
Why join us?
Hands-on technical role with real progression: start at 3 days a week and grow into full-time as the fit proves out
The ability to earn a monthly performance bonus, based on the quality of your work
Work on a wide range of modern gaming hardware in a specialist workshop
Opportunity to develop deeper board-level repair skills
Small, skilled, supportive team
Casual dress
Staff discount on OG Repairs products
Free on-site parking
How to apply
Send your CV along with a short cover letter just a few sentences telling us why you think you'd be a good fit for OG Repairs and what you'd bring to the team. If you have photos of your repair work (boards, joints, finished repairs), include them: they'll put you straight to the top of the pile.
Our process: application review, a short phone call, then a practical assessment at the workshop (1 to 2 hours at the bench showing us what you can do), followed by a fast decision
