Build something you can be proud of—together. We’re working with a world‑leading automotive manufacturer with over 100 years of innovation. Their modern, well‑organised facility has a strong order book and is continuing to grow and is now welcoming Production Operatives to join the team on a long‑term basis, with immediate starts available.

This is a supportive, inclusive workplace where people are trained properly, treated with respect, and given opportunities to develop—no matter their background.

As a Production Operative, you’ll be part of a close‑knit production team, where quality, safety, and teamwork matter.

• Use specialist equipment such as air tools, spray guns, and hog rings
• Assemble and produce high‑quality automotive components
• Carry out visual quality checks on your own work
• Follow clear health & safety processes designed to keep everyone safe
• Support your teammates to keep production running smoothly

No two days are exactly the same, and you’ll learn valuable skills used across modern manufacturing.
