- Conduct in-process inspections to ensure dimensional accuracy and finished quality.
- Adjust machine settings, tooling, and programmes where required to achieve the correct result.
- Work safely and efficiently to support daily production schedules.
- Collaborate with colleagues across production, engineering, and quality.
- Carry out basic maintenance, cleaning, and upkeep of machinery and tooling.
- Contribute to improvements in setup times, tooling methods, process flow, and manufacturing efficiency.

- Practical, reliable, and proactive, with good communication and teamwork skills.
Why Work With Us
- 4-day week as standard.
- Growing business with investment in machinery, infrastructure, and process improvement.
