You’ll become part of a skilled, supportive and hardworking team, playing an important role in producing high precision components used in cutting‑edge industries – all within a fast‑paced and rewarding foundry environment.

Who are we?

At Grainger & Worrall, we specialise in producing complex cast and precision‑machined solutions for pioneering technologies across diverse industries, including automotive, aerospace, defence, motorsport, and more, highlighting our versatility and commitment to driving future technology development and decarbonising mobility.

Driven by a team of talented and experienced engineers and specialists, we push boundaries and innovate to bring cutting‑edge ideas to life.

We work with leading manufacturers of high-performance vehicles, helping them turn their ambitious designs and vision into reality. Through the expertise of our team and state‑of‑the‑art facilities which combines cutting‑edge engineering with advance manufacturing processes, we deliver high-performance components tailored to meet the demanding requirements of our clients’ innovative applications. We’re proud to shape the future of engineering.

About The Role

Ready to get hands‑on in a role where your work truly matters? As a Foundry Operative, you’ll be at the heart of our production process, helping create high‑quality castings that power some of the world’s most advanced technologies.
