Job description

Overview

Fitter Assembler

Based in Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey

Up to £15 per hour, 40 hour week (£31,200 annual) plus benefits and overtime when available

A leading designer and manufacturer of specialist safety equipment for hazardous areas across a range of industries is actively seeking an experienced Multi-skilled Fitter to join their Manufacturing Projects Team.

Their site in Sunbury is easily reached by both road (2 minutes from the M3) and public transport (few minutes walk from Kempton Park train station) where they have in-house design, fabrication and testing facilities.

This is an exciting time to be joining them as they are continuing to expand their core product ranges, integrating technological developments, and the development of bespoke solutions to meet specific customer needs means that your work will be interesting and varied.

As a General Fitter Assembler you will be given full training across all areas of manufacturing and assembly on the shop floor so that in time you will learn new skills and be comfortable moving around. This will not just involve sitting at a bench making the same subassembly day after day.

You will need to be able to read engineering drawings, BOMs, and find solutions to problems as designs can evolve during the build - some of these will be working prototypes.

What they offer

• 40 hour week
• 20 days holiday + bank holidays (1 day added per year of service up to 5 year where extra 2 days awarded for total of 27 days plus bank holiday)
• Company sick pay available after probation - increases with length of service
• Flexible start and finish times
• 7am-8am start
• Finish no earlier than 4pm
• Finish at lunchtime on Fridays if all hours made up
• Overtime available at needs of business
• Personalised induction and personal development plan, and clear career progression pathway within the company in the future.

Candidate profile / Qualifications

• Applications are invited from Assembly Operatives, Mechanical Fitters, Panel Wirers, or workshop technicians or operatives. Equally, you may enjoy working with your hands and looking for a move into a workshop environment.
• We are keen to find workshop members with a real passion for attention to detail. You will need to be self-motivated to work both independently as well as within a team and be comfortable working on several projects simultaneously on occasion.
