Working life at PMD..

At PMD, we're a collection of confident and self-driven individuals with unique skills which we use to help each other. We have a small, friendly, "start-up" culture about proving on a daily basis what a small group of passionate, creative, and clever people can do in the world of engineering. We have a task-orientated working life; you'll be expected to deliver on your promises and get the job done. In balance, you are free to organise your daily routine to accommodate your schedule with our flexi-time structure. On a 9am-6pm day, we have a +/-1 hr flexi-time to best suit yourself and we rarely have late nights or weekends.

We are working in the 21st Century; we don't really do meetings; we try to use (Getting Things Done) GTD methods, Skype, Evernote and work smart to achieve a decent level of productivity. So if we do happen to have a meeting, rest assured that the minutes of the meeting will most likely be a bullet-point list of actions on a task manager rather than a tedious MS Word formatted 'must-read' memorandum.

What we do and what you will be doing at PMD..

Our main work and income is designing, manufacturing and supplying miniature motors and mechanisms used in a wide range of products such as cars, locks, medical products, toys and tools, for example. All our products are manufactured, in part or as a whole, by subcontract manufacturers in South East Asia, with the majority in China. Our Hong Kong is predominantly involved in engineering product development and quality control under the general guidance and oversight of the Operations Director.

To deliver these engineering operations, we have a significant level of administrative activity which needs your support; goods coming in, invoices being paid, stationery supplies, computers replacement, furniture ordering, bookkeeping expenses.
