Overview:
Ceramic cores are a critical part of how advanced aerospace components are manufactured. At our Corby site, we produce high-precision ceramic cores that help shape some of the world's most complex engineering products.
We're looking for a General Operative – Finishing to join our PM Shift team. This role is all about precision, consistency and attention to detail. If you're someone who takes pride in producing quality work and doesn't mind repetitive tasks (because getting it right matters), this could be a great fit.
The Role
