Full job description

Extrusions Press Operator / Press Driver

Luxfer MEL Technologies is a global leader in high-performance magnesium and zirconium-based materials, supporting advanced technology industries worldwide. From aerospace and defence to healthcare, automotive, environmental and specialist industrial applications, our materials help improve performance, safety and reliability in critical sectors.

Role Overview – Extrusions Press Operator / Press Driver

Are you an experienced manufacturing operator who takes pride in doing things right first time? Do you enjoy working with machinery, following detailed process instructions and producing high-quality work where accuracy really matters? We are looking for an Extrusions Press Operator / Press Driver to join our Manchester production team, with a specific focus on our weld rod extrusion area.

This is a hands-on production role in a specialist manufacturing environment, operating extrusion press equipment and supporting the delivery of consistent, high-quality weld rod products. You will play an important part in maintaining process control, checking work carefully, recording production information accurately and escalating anything that does not look right.

Quality is central to this role. We need someone who can follow instructions exactly, work to agreed procedures without shortcuts and complete production records clearly, accurately and on time. Experience in extrusion, press operation or similar heavy manufacturing would be a strong advantage, and previous experience in an AS9100, aerospace, defence or similarly high-quality regulated environment would be particularly valuable.

Key Responsibilities

Operate extrusion press equipment and associated plant safely, consistently and in line with approved procedures.
Support weld rod extrusion production, ensuring each process step is completed exactly as instructed.
Monitor process conditions, carry out checks and raise concerns quickly if anything falls outside expectations.
Complete production records, log sheets and handover information accurately, legibly and in full.
Check product and process quality throughout the shift, helping to protect customer confidence and right-first-time performance.
Work closely with Team Leaders, operators, Quality and support teams to maintain safe, controlled and reliable production.
Maintain high standards of housekeeping, safe working and ownership of your area.

The Package

Full-time production role based at our Manchester site.
Nominally a 24/5 shift pattern which can vary depending on production demand.
Salary from £32,954 for days, up to £45,833.74 on 24/5+ if required.
Direct worker bonus of up to 14%.
On-site canteen facilities.
Free on-site parking.
Employee Assistance Programme, including access to confidential support and advice.
Training and development opportunities within a specialist manufacturing environment.

Requirements – Extrusions Press Operator / Press Driver

Experience working in a manufacturing or production environment where strict procedures, quality checks and accurate records are essential.
Direct experience operating an extrusion press is strongly preferred.
Experience with press operation, heavy manufacturing equipment or similar machinery would be advantageous.
Strong attention to detail and a genuine commitment to doing the job correctly every time.
Ability to follow written and verbal instructions exactly and escalate immediately if anything is unclear.
Confidence completing production documentation accurately and maintaining traceable records.
A safety-focused, reliable and team-oriented approach.
Experience in AS9100, aerospace, defence or another high-quality regulated manufacturing environment would be a significant advantage.

The Luxfer Culture: Join a Specialist Manufacturing Team

At Luxfer, we value teamwork, accountability, integrity and pride in the work we do. You will be joining a production team where quality matters, your attention to detail will be visible, and the work you complete will support products used across demanding and highly regulated industries.
This role would suit someone who enjoys practical manufacturing, understands the importance of following process instructions, and wants to contribute to a team focused on safe, reliable and right-first-time production. If you are careful, disciplined and proud of producing high-quality work, we would like to hear from you.

Important: Export Control Requirement
This position may require access to US ITAR controlled information under a US export authorization/licence. To comply with these regulations, applicants must be eligible to access controlled technology. This typically requires a national of a country not listed under ITAR §126.1 (U.S. arms embargoed countries), and legally entitled to work in the UK. Regrettably, we are unable to consider applicants from countries currently listed under ITAR §126.1.

As a Disability Confident employer, we will ensure that a fair and proportionate number of disabled applicants that meet the minimum criteria for this position will be offered an interview. If you wish to request that your application be considered under the terms of our Guaranteed Interview Scheme, please explicitly state so in your CV and / or accompanying cover letter.
