This is a strong opportunity for someone seeking long-term job security, a consistent workload, and the chance to progress internally within a structured manufacturing environment.

The role

Recording work in progress and component traceability using shop floor systems
Adhering to quality, health and safety, FOD and ESD procedures
Supporting 5S and continuous improvement activities

Experience working in a manufacturing or precision engineering environment
Ability to read and work from engineering drawings
Confident use of basic hand tools
Good manual dexterity with a methodical and accurate approach to work
Basic IT skills
Desirable:
Experience using SAP or similar manufacturing systems
