This hands-on role sits at the heart of our shop floor.

Working across rotating early and back shifts, your primary focus will be supporting our machining and assembly operations by safely handling and processing raw materials, machined components, tooling, and other equipment—operating lifting and slinging gear, forklifts, and reach trucks while upholding strict safety, quality, and Lean manufacturing standards.

  • Experienced in forklift and reach truck operation (valid licence required).
  • Established knowledge of mechanical manufacturing processes.
  • Previous precision manufacturing experience within highly regulated, safety-critical sectors—such as Aerospace, Oil & Gas, or Power Generation—working to strict ISO 9001 quality and traceability standards is highly advantageous.
  • Health and Safety training, with continued awareness throughout all activities.
  • Self-motivation and strong facilitation skills to be used in a team setting.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities with a bias towards action and speed.
  • Active engagement in team discussions and a willingness to support team decisions.
  • A positive attitude that helps drive process improvement activities across the organisation.

What You Will Do:

  • Interpret engineering work instructions accurately.
  • Carry out safe manual handling of raw materials and finished components.
  • Operate forklift and reach trucks safely within a busy workshop and stores environment.
  • Assist with equipment and tooling set-up for machining and assembly operations.
  • Understand the capabilities and safe limits of workshop tooling and machinery.
  • Follow applicable quality systems and perform routine quality checks.
  • Apply principles of Lean Manufacturing to reduce setup times and improve productivity.
  • Seek out, identify, and actively participate in daily Continuous Improvement activities.
  • Create and maintain a collaborative, team-focused work environment.
  • Maintain high standards of general housekeeping and cleanliness across working areas.
  • Support company “Best Practices” to achieve goals for safety, delivery, cost, and quality.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
