Job description

JC3DDesign is growing, and we're looking for a practical, reliable and hands-on person to join our production team.

We're a growing manufacturer based in Peterborough business supplying businesses across a wide range of industries. As our production workload continues to increase, we're looking for someone who can support our day-to-day manufacturing operation while developing their skills alongside the business.

This role will initially focus on the practical side of production. Full training will be provided, with the opportunity to progress into a Junior Technician role and eventually take on greater responsibility for machine operation, software, troubleshooting and maintenance.

You do not need previous experience. We're more interested in finding someone with the right attitude who is practical, dependable and keen to learn.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will initially include:

• Loading and unloading machines
• Changing and preparing machines for production
• Removing completed parts
• Carrying out basic post-processing
• Cleaning and maintaining machines
• Adding keyrings and other components to products when required
• Counting and organising production batches
• Packing and preparing customer orders
• Keeping the workshop and production areas clean and organised
• Checking completed parts and reporting any quality issues
• Following production instructions and quality standards

How the role can develop

As you gain experience and demonstrate your ability, you'll have the opportunity to learn and take on more technical responsibilities, including:

• Operating software
• Preparing and setting up machine jobs
• Monitoring multiple machines
• Basic printer troubleshooting
• Routine and preventative machine maintenance
• Replacing basic machine components
• Managing materials and consumable stock
• Carrying out production quality checks
• Using production management software
• Helping improve print processes and production efficiency

Our aim is to develop the right person from a Production Assistant into a skilled Technician who can confidently operate, troubleshoot and maintain our growing production fleet.

We're looking for someone who is:

• Practical and hands on
• Reliable and punctual
• Organised and methodical
• Comfortable working independently
• Able to follow instructions accurately
• Detail-oriented and quality conscious
• Comfortable working in a busy production environment

A mechanical or technical interest would be a big advantage.

This is an opportunity to join JC3DDesign at an exciting stage of our growth and develop your career alongside the business.

You'll be working in a modern manufacturing environment with a growing fleet of machines and a wide variety of projects for business customers across different industries.

We're not looking for someone to simply load machines and pack boxes forever.

We want to invest time in the right person and develop them into a skilled member of our production team who can eventually take responsibility for operating, troubleshooting and maintaining our equipment.

As the business continues to grow, there will be opportunities for the role and your responsibilities to grow with it.

If you're practical, curious, enjoy working with your hands and want to build a career in modern manufacturing, we'd love to hear from you.
