Pertemps are currently recruiting Preparation Operatives to join a well-established specialist manufacturing business based in Pontypool.

The company manufactures specialist components and products for the automotive sector, and we're looking for people who enjoy practical, hands‑on work to join their busy preparation department.

• Keeping your work area clean, tidy and safe
• Working as part of the wider manufacturing team

This is a hands‑on role, so you'll need to be comfortable carrying out practical tasks and working accurately to a set process.

You’ll work alternating shifts each week:

• Week 1 - 6:00am to 2:00pm
• Week 2 - 2:00pm to 10:00pm

The shifts then continue to alternate weekly.

Previous experience within manufacturing, production, engineering, assembly or another hands‑on environment would be an advantage.
