Holt Engineering is recruiting for a Production Line Operator to join a well-established and growing automotive operation in Poole.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a genuine passion for cars and who is mechanically minded

Rather than traditional servicing and repairs, you'll use your mechanical knowledge to safely dismantle vehicles and remove valuable automotive components for reuse and recycling.

You'll be working hands-on with a wide variety of vehicles, using hand and power tools to remove everything from doors and interior components through to suspension and powertrain parts.

Key Responsibilities

• Safely dismantle end-of-life vehicles
• Identify and remove quality automotive parts for reuse
• Remove mechanical and electrical vehicle components

• Work closely with colleagues to keep the production line running effectively

• The ability to dismantle mechanical components safely
• Good problem-solving skills
• Strong attention to health and safety
• A reliable and professional approach to work
• Good attendance and timekeeping
• The ability to work effectively as part of a team

Previous vehicle dismantling experience would be beneficial, but isn't essential if you have the right mechanical knowledge and practical skills.

There are also opportunities to progress into Senior positions, based on consistent performance, reliability, attendance, work standards and a strong commitment to health and safety.

Alongside a salary of £33,000 which will increase with progression

• Time off in lieu if required to work a bank holiday
• Additional Family Day after 1 year's service
• One paid volunteering day each year after 1 year's service
• A further 2 days' holiday after 3 years
• Workplace pension with enhanced employer contributions after 5 years
• 20% discount on car parts for you and your family
