You’ll check size and accuracy throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring components meet quality requirements both during production and on completion.

Responsibilities

• Operate manual and semi-automatic grinding machines to produce high-precision components
• Check component size and accuracy during and after production
• Complete required paperwork and follow shop floor SOPs to support traceability and consistency
• Work closely with supervisors and colleagues to deliver work efficiently and safely
• Carry out minor machine maintenance
• Maintain housekeeping standards
• Adhere to all safety devices and PPE requirements
• Support the smooth running of the shop floor as part of the wider production team

Requirements

Ideally, you will have some engineering background with machining experience, preferably in grinding (internal, surface, cylindrical, centreless, or profiling). However, this is not essential as training will be provided to the right candidates who have some machining or engineering background.
