A Clear Progression Path: This isn't just another job; it is a long‑term succession plan. There is a genuine opportunity for you to step up to Production Manager and eventually even join the board of directors.
Impact: You will provide input on the daily operations of the injection moulding department, your ideas will be listened to, and you will have the opportunity to make improvements.

* Technical Oversight: Perform safe and efficient tool changes and handle troubleshooting or basic machine maintenance when the team needs your expertise.
* Quality & Safety: Maintain high housekeeping standards and make sure all activities comply with ISO standards and health and safety requirements.
Your Remuneration Package:

* Holiday Allowance: 23 days plus bank holidays, increasing to 25 days after five years of service.
* Benefits: 4% pension, complimentary refreshments, and a uniform are provided.
* Future Growth: The ultimate benefit is the defined path toward company directorship.
