Join a Growing Aerospace Manufacturer - Play a Key Role in Their Next Phase of Growth
The Opportunity
EMBS Engineering is currently partnering with a well-established precision engineering company based in Birmingham which is looking for a Production Supervisor to join their business on a permanent basis.
Our client is a well-established advanced manufacturing business that specialises in machining small, sub-assembly components for high profile, leading organisations within the aerospace industry.
