What You'll Be Doing

As a Production Operator, you'll be working hands-on within a precision manufacturing environment - operating and monitoring production machinery, carrying out quality checks on finished components, keeping your workstation organised and safe and working closely with your team to hit daily production targets.

• Keen to learn and happy to be trained
• Comfortable on their feet and working with their hands
• Able to follow instructions carefully and work to quality standards
• A good team player who pitches in and supports colleagues
• Previous production, warehouse, or hands-on trade experience is a bonus, but not essential
