Permanent | i54, Wolverhampton | Spray Cell| 40 Hours Per Week Inspect with precision. Spray with care. Take pride in every sink. We currently have an exciting opportunity to join Shaws as a Spray Cell Operative within our growing team at our manufacturing facility in Wolverhampton. Every Shaws sink is made by hand, and the spray cell is where its finish is decided.

In this role you’ll either spray the engobe undercoat or the glaze onto our fireclay sinks, or support the movement of work around the area — all to the highest standards. Before anything is sprayed you’ll inspect the sink closely, because a fault that isn’t caught in your cell is a fault that gets fired in. From here, the sinks move on to our kilns department.

It is precise, hands-on work in a high-volume area, and the result is visible in every finished piece. You’ll take pride in every luxury sink you spray. You’ll work across two shifts, Monday to Friday: 6am–2pm and 2pm–10pm. What You Will Be Responsible For Carrying out a detailed inspection of every sink prior to spraying.

Returning all equipment to its designated zones at the end of each shift, and returning barrels to the glaze room. Leaving the area clean and tidy for the next day, and meeting housekeeping standards through regular cleaning of the area. Striving to achieve the targets set for your area. Being willing to undertake training to develop in role and support other departments.
