Their work ranges from single machines and control systems to conveyors, robotics and full turnkey production lines. The business recently launched a dedicated fabrication division.

- Support the flow of production and help keep projects on track.
- Work across both internal automation builds and external customer orders.
- Ensure all equipment is used safely and efficiently.
- Escalate problems appropriately when needed.
Skills and Experience Required:
- Solid experience working in a machine shop environment is essential.
- Extensive experience working with specialist materials.
- Hands-on experience across centre lathes, vertical and horizontal mills, surface and cylindrical grinders, and single and multi-axis machine tools.
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.
- A tenacious, self-motivated problem solver.
- Able to work independently and as part of a team.
