Ensure strict compliance with H&S procedures and PPE requirements

Completed mechanical apprenticeship or equivalent (City & Guilds / NVQ Level 3)
*
Proven skills in hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, fabrication, and bench fitting

Certification to operate forklifts, cherry pickers, and overhead cranes
*
Flexibility to work shift patterns and occasional weekends
*
Own set of hand tools and ability to pass pre-start drug & alcohol screening
Desirable:

Experience working on slitting/decoiling machinery
*
Basic electrical qualification or practical fault-finding skills
What’s On Offer
*
Competitive hourly rate (£16.09/hour) with annual earnings around £36.5k

Midweek OT – enhanced rate
*
Saturday OT – ×1.5

Sunday OT – ×2.0
*
33 days holiday (including bank holidays)
