ABOUT MOTIONTECH

MotionTech is a specialist manufacturer and provider of materials handling solutions, designing and building mechanical systems including conveyors, frames, and automated handling equipment for customers across the UK. The business has a strong engineering heritage and a shopfloor culture built on quality, safety, and getting the job done properly. The team is hands-on, straight-talking, and takes real pride in what they build.

THE ROLE

This is a hands-on lead position overseeing a team of ten assembly operatives and fitters in a busy mechanical assembly environment. You will report directly to the Production Manager and be responsible for the day-to-day delivery of mechanical assembly activity — keeping work safe, on time, and built to standard. Success in this role means a team that works well, quality that holds, and a shopfloor you are proud to run.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

You'll:

Lead and coordinate the mechanical assembly team daily, allocating work against plan and priorities

Coach and develop operatives on skills, quality standards, and safe working behaviours

Assemble mechanical equipment to drawings and specifications (conveyors, frames, guards, rollers, motors)

Interpret engineering drawings, BOMs, and work instructions; flag discrepancies early

Run pre-task briefings, toolbox talks, and daily safety checks to maintain a safe shopfloor

Carry out quality checks at first-off, in-process, and final stages; escalate concerns promptly

Support planning, material readiness, and cross-department communication to keep production on track

Drive 5S housekeeping standards: clear walkways, correct storage, and zero-tolerance on unsafe practice

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

Essential:

A solid background in mechanical assembly in a manufacturing or engineering environment

Experience leading a small team as a team leader, lead hand, or senior fitter

Confident reading engineering drawings, BOMs, and build instructions

Good working knowledge of workshop safety: manual handling, power tools, lifting, PPE

Time-served apprenticeship or equivalent practical experience (NVQ Level 2/3, City & Guilds)

Useful, not essential:

Experience assembling conveyors or material handling equipment

Forklift, overhead crane, or lifting gear training

Familiarity with lean / 5S and continuous improvement principles

IOSH Working Safely or First Aid at Work (or willingness to complete)
