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
