  • Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.
  • A careful and methodical approach to work.
  • Good organisational skills.
  • A reliable and hard-working attitude.
  • The ability to follow instructions and established processes accurately.
  • The ability to adapt to changing priorities within a busy manufacturing environment.
  • A positive attitude and willingness to learn.
  • The ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.

Previous experience within manufacturing, engineering, warehouse, stores, packing or despatch would be advantageous but is not essential.

Experience with component marking, labelling or handling precision parts would also be beneficial, although full training will be provided.

What's on Offer

  • Permanent, full-time position.
  • 39-hour working week.
  • Monday to Friday days with an early finish every Friday.
  • Full training provided.
  • Opportunity to learn specialist component marking and traceability processes.
  • Friendly and supportive working environment.
