Machine Operator
Chesterfield | £25,000 – £28,000 DOE | Mon–Fri, 8:30am–5:00pm | Permanent
Let’s cut to the chase - this is not a button-pushing, same-part-every-day factory role.
This is a hands-on, varied Machine Operator position where you’ll be involved in the full manufacturing process from raw materials to finished product. If you like seeing the end result of your work and taking pride in what you produce, this one’s got your name on it.
The Business
Our client is a long-established, Chesterfield-based manufacturer specialising in security and access solutions. They design, manufacture and assemble high-quality products used in homes, commercial buildings and public sector environments such as schools and hospitals.
They’re known for doing things properly - quality craftsmanship, practical problem-solving and a strong team culture where people actually enjoy coming to work.
The Role
Based on-site in the machine shop, you’ll join a small but highly skilled team and receive full training as you learn how products are manufactured from start to finish.
Your day-to-day will include:
Working with wood and metal, using hand tools and CNC machine tools
Manufacturing parts in line with specifications
Learning assembly processes to create finished products ready for customers
Supporting the wider production team to maintain quality and efficiency
No two days look the same – this is a varied, engaging role where you’re involved in more than just one stage of production.
What We’re Looking For
You don’t need to be the finished article - attitude and hands-on experience matter most.
Ideally, you’ll have:
Experience using hand tools or machine tools
Background in a factory, manufacturing or production environment
A practical mindset and good attention to detail
A willingness to learn and develop new skills
What’s In It For You?
Let’s talk package – because it stacks up:
£25,000 – £28,000 basic salary (depending on experience)
Christmas bonus
Paid overtime (time during the week, time and a half at weekends)
Holidays increase with each year of service
Free onsite parking
Fully equipped kitchen/canteen
Regular company days out – race days, events, meals out
This is a long-term opportunity with genuine scope to learn, progress and build a career with a business that values its people.
