Overview
We are seeking a versatile, “hands-on” problem solver for a dual-capacity role on behalf of our client. You will be responsible for the high-precision mechanical assembly of heavy-duty products while also maintaining the factory machinery and facility infrastructure. This is a fluid role for someone who enjoys variety, from building products from the ground up to troubleshooting hydraulic systems.
Job Role
1. Mechanical Assembly: Build complex units from component parts using air-powered tools, impact drivers, and manual fixings.
2. Precision Fitting: Interpret technical drawings and alignment specifications to ensure every build meets structural safety standards.
3. Machinery Maintenance: Troubleshoot and repair factory plant equipment, including bending machines and hydraulic presses.
4. Site Facilities: Perform general building repairs, assist with machine decommissioning/setup, and maintain site vehicles (forklifts).
5. Fabrication & Logistics: Perform minor functional welding (MIG/Arc), precision drilling, and assist with loading/unloading logistics.
Your Experience/ Requirements
6. Mechanical Aptitude: A natural “knack” for building and fixing things with a logical, common-sense approach.
7. Technical Literacy: Proficient in reading assembly drawings and understanding mechanical/hydraulic linkages.
8. Tool Proficiency: Expert use of power tools, air tools, and Rota broach equipment.
9. Physical Stamina: Able to handle the physical demands of heavy mechanical assembly and steel maneuvering.
10. Adaptability: A “can-do” attitude with the ability to switch between repetitive production and complex repair tasks
11. Must drive due to location
