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. You'll be trained on the equipment and processes you need - this is about attitude and reliability first, technical experience second.

Setting up, running and monitoring production equipment

Carrying out visual and measured quality checks on components as they're produced

Recording production data accurately

Keeping your work area clean, tidy and safe (5S standards)

Flagging any issues or quality concerns to your shift supervisor

Working as part of a close-knit, supportive team

Reliable and punctual self starter, with a strong work ethic

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
