Production operative
Posted: 3 September
Offer description

What’s the Job?
We’re looking for a hands-on, detail-focused Production Operative to help manufacture high-quality lightweight structural products.
You’ll be part of the team that turns raw materials into strong, durable, and surprisingly light components used in a wide range of industries. Some days you’ll be working with specialist machinery, other days you’ll be assembling products or helping with general workshop tasks.
If you enjoy practical work, learning new skills, and take pride in doing a job properly, this could be a great fit.
What You’ll Be Doing
Using layering techniques to build lightweight structural panels from a variety of materials.
Operating and maintaining workshop machinery such as presses, ovens, routers, and saws (training provided).
Assisting with the production of other custom-built products when needed.
Loading and unloading goods, plus general workshop or yard work.
Assembling more complex structures from drawings or manuals alongside other team members.
Completing paperwork and following quality checks.
Helping with other tasks that keep the workshop running smoothly.

What You’ll Need
Previous experience of composites is a must!
Experience using hand and power tools.
Good manual handling skills (some lifting involved).
The ability to focus on repetitive tasks while maintaining high standards.
Basic mechanical knowledge and problem-solving ability.
Teamworking skills and the ability to get on with people.
Good communication skills and the ability to follow instructions and safety policies.
An eye for detail to make sure work is accurate and consistent.

Nice-to-Have (But Not Essential)
Experience reading engineering drawings.
Knowledge of layered structural construction or bonding techniques.
Forklift licence (or willingness to train).

A Few Realities of the Job
Some lifting will be involved — always done safely, sometimes with a teammate.
It’s practical, hands-on work, often on your feet.
Safety and accuracy are a big part of the role.

How to Apply
Send us your CV and a quick note about your experience with practical, hands-on work — whether that’s in a workshop, on-site, or even as part of a personal project. We’re looking for people who care about quality, work well in a team, and are keen to learn.
