What the Job Involves:

Using drawings and instructions – Engineering drawings and written instructions will guide you through each step of the build. You’ll learn how to follow them to carry out the assembly safely and correctly.

Checking parts – You will make sure all the parts are present and correct. If anything is missing or damaged, you will then report it to your supervisor or the Quality Assurance team.

Assembling the products – You will put the units together using tools such as air tools and spanners, following the set procedures.

Testing your work – Once the product is built, you will test it to make sure it meets the customer’s requirements.

Recording results – After testing, you will log the results and pass them to Quality Assurance.

You will be fully trained and achieve a Level 3 Engineering Fitter qualification. This is a great opportunity with generous pay.

Staff benefits include: 25 days holiday, free parking, a bonus scheme payable in March.
