Do you enjoy variety in your day and getting stuck into different parts of the production process?
Are you the kind of person who spots what needs doing and just gets on with it?

We're recruiting for a Process Utility Operative to support a busy fabrication department. This is a hands-on role where you'll provide assistance across multiple areas including Punch, Laser, Press Brake, Painting/Preparation, and After Paint Assembly. No two days will look exactly the same.


What's the Job?

  • Providing support across fabrication processes including Punch, Laser and Press Brake
  • Assisting with preparation prior to painting and after-paint assembly
  • Working from job packs and signing off documentation
  • Supporting the Works Supervisor and Lead Operatives
  • Maintaining high standards of quality and manufacturing tolerances
  • Keeping work areas clean, safe and organised
  • Reporting any equipment, build or production concerns promptly
  • Helping improve productivity by working closely with the wider team

You'll play a key part in keeping production running smoothly and ensuring finished products meet quality standards.


What Kind of Person Fits This Job?

This role would suit someone who:

  • Is practical and hands-on
  • Enjoys working in a manufacturing or workshop environment
  • Is reliable and productive throughout the shift
  • Takes pride in maintaining tidy and safe work areas
  • Works well as part of a team
  • Communicates clearly with supervisors and colleagues

Previous experience in fabrication or manufacturing is helpful, but attitude and willingness to support wherever needed are just as important.


The Basics:

  • 37.5 hours per week
  • Monday to Thursday - 07:30-16:00/17:00 (flexible start/finish within stated times)
  • Friday - 07:30-11:45/12:45
  • £15.79ph
  • 12 week temp - perm
  • Structured manufacturing environment
