Description
At Gordon Murray Group, every vehicle is built with intent. Precision in the structure underpins everything the driver experiences, and that precision is created on the production floor. This role sits directly within that responsibility.

This is your chance to:
* Produce frame structures through coded welding and structural bonding processes
* Work closely with Manufacturing Engineering to meet production targets
* Operate machinery on a low-volume production line
* Inspect finished parts, identify defects and label components correctly
* Load, unload and assemble parts ensuring correct allocation to stillages
* Work towards daily production output targets
* Support new model introduction activities
* Assist cycle time changes, line rebalancing, trials and training activities
* Check manufacturing parts manuals and technical documentation
* Support shop safety initiatives and implement countermeasures
* Participate in team problem-solving activities
* Identify process waste and implement efficiency improvements
* Collaborate with Engineering teams to continuously improve manufacturing processes
* Support overtime, shutdown and travel requirements when necessary
