This is a strong opportunity for someone seeking long-term job security, a consistent workload, and the chance to progress internally within a structured manufacturing environment.

The role

Reporting to the Cell Leader, the Assembly Operative will be responsible for the mechanical assembly of precision-engineered components and sub-assemblies to detailed technical and quality standards.

Experience working in a manufacturing or precision engineering environment

Ability to read and work from engineering drawings

Confident use of basic hand tools

Good manual dexterity with a methodical and accurate approach to work

Basic IT skills
Desirable:

Experience using SAP or similar manufacturing systems
