Overview

Full\-Time \| Hands\-On Manufacturing Role

We are looking for a hardworking, enthusiastic and hands\-on Operator Assistant to join our busy manufacturing team.

This is a varied shop\-floor role where you’ll work alongside our experienced operators across different areas of production. We’re looking for someone who is practical, reliable, keen to learn and happy to get stuck in wherever they are needed.

Previous engineering experience would be beneficial, but it isn’t essential. For us, attitude, reliability and a willingness to learn are just as important as experience.

The Role

As an Operator Assistant, your day\-to\-day work will vary depending on production requirements. You’ll receive on\-the\-job training and support while working across areas including:

CNC machining – running CNC machines, loading and changing billets/components, clearing completed parts and keeping machines running efficiently.

Deburring \& finishing – deburring, checking and preparing machined components for the next stage of production.

Gear cutting – operating and assisting with gear cutting machinery, handling components and completing associated finishing work.

Assembly – assisting with the assembly and finishing of components, including flanging, keyways and other associated processes.

Production support – helping across the shop floor wherever required to keep jobs moving and meet production deadlines.

As you gain experience, you’ll become more confident operating different machinery and carrying out tasks independently.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who:

Is hardworking, reliable and punctual

Enjoys practical, hands\-on work

Is keen to learn new machinery and processes

Is flexible and happy working across different areas of production

Can follow instructions and work safely

Has good attention to detail

Takes pride in producing quality work

Works well as part of a team

Is willing to get stuck in and help wherever needed

Experience in manufacturing, engineering, machining or a workshop environment would be an advantage, but full training will be provided for the right person.

What We Offer

This is an opportunity to become part of a busy manufacturing team and gain hands\-on experience across a variety of engineering processes.

You won’t be limited to one machine or one area. You’ll have the opportunity to work across CNC machining, gear cutting, deburring, finishing and assembly, building a broad range of practical skills along the way.

If you’re hardworking, hands\-on and looking for a role where you can learn, develop your skills and become a valued part of the team, we’d love to hear from you.

Pay: From £29,250\.00 per year

Benefits:

  • Company pension
