It's a business with decades of history behind it and a long-term commitment to its people, which shows in how they invest in training and how long people stay.

• Planning and loading work for both manned day production and unmanned running in a 24/7 cellular environment
• Hand deburring and fettling detail components
• Inspecting components, including pressure checking, magnetic particle inspection and paint finish checks What you'll bring

• Confidence reading and understanding CNC code at the machine interface
• The ability to fully interpret detail, assembly and finishing process drawings
• Strong knowledge of cutting tools and how different materials machine
• Experience with inspection methods such as MPI and pressure testing
• Basic PC skills, with some SAP exposure For more information, or to apply, please contact Kieran Wilson
