Who this role suits

This role suits someone who enjoys hands-on work, takes pride in meeting production targets, and wants to build long-term skills within the manufacturing industry.

This is a physical role working with steel in a manufacturing environment, requiring lifting, standing for long periods and working around heavy materials.

If you’re reliable, safety-focused and ready to get stuck into a stable manufacturing role, we encourage you to apply.
