Job Description

Machine Operator | Renfrewshire | Temp to Permanent 

The Opportunity

NT Engineering & Manufacturing are proud to be recruiting on behalf of Smith & McLaurin, a well-established manufacturing business currently going through a period of growth. These Machine Operator positions span two departments - the Slitting & Finishing department and the Coating Process team.

You will start as a Machine Operator and work through a structured 12-week training programme. The business is investing in this team and in the right people who join it. If you have the attitude and ability, there is a genuine path forward.

Shift Pattern

The shift pattern is one of the real attractions here. 12-hour shifts on a 2-week rotation - a long week of 44 hours followed by a short week of 32 hours, averaging 39.6 hours per week. No weekends. No Friday back-shifts.

This pattern gives you proper blocks of time off throughout the month. If work-life balance matters to you, this is worth paying attention to.

The Package

The overall package here is genuinely strong, and for many people the combination of shift pattern, leave, benefits and a growing business will be exactly what they are looking for.

The business is growing and wants people who want to grow with it. Perform well and the long-term opportunity is real.
