Previous press brake experience is not essential. If you're practical, comfortable working around machinery and have the right attitude and aptitude to learn, full training and support will be provided.

• Work with mild steel, stainless steel and galvanised materials

Your background could include:

• Machine Operator
• Production Operative
• Fabrication Operative
• Laser Operator

• Are practical and mechanically minded
• Are comfortable working with machinery
• Have good attention to detail
• Take quality and safety seriously
• Are reliable and keen to learn

• 25 days' holiday plus Bank Holidays
• Pension after 12 weeks - 4% employee / 5% employer contribution

This is an excellent opportunity if you're currently working in manufacturing or engineering and want to step up from a general machine or production role and develop a skilled CNC fabrication career.
