A globally recognised aerospace manufacturer in Denham is recruiting an Aerospace Assembly Operative to join its parachute and safety systems team. This role involves the assembly, inspection and preparation of parachutes and drogues used in aviation safety systems for fighter jets. It is highly detailed, hands-on work carried out in a safety‑critical environment where accuracy, traceability and quality standards are taken seriously.

Drawing parts from stores and accurately recording batch numbers and history sheets
Inspecting parachutes for defects and documenting findings clearly

What you need
Background in manufacturing or engineering
Ability to follow engineering drawings, instructions and specifications
Strong attention to detail and good manual dexterity
Basic understanding of health & safety procedures
Basic IT skills for recording and documentation
GCSE Maths and English (grades D–G or equivalent)

£28,000 per annum
Days role: 08:00–17:00 Monday to Thursday / 08:00–12:00 Friday
