The ideal candidate will be eager to work across both machining and assembly, bringing a proactive attitude and a keen eye for detail to every task. If you're looking to grow your skills in a forward-thinking engineering environment and contribute to a company that values precision, innovation, and teamwork, we'd love to hear from you.
