Are you an experienced Machine Setter looking for a stable, hands-on engineering role with varied machinery, overtime opportunities and an early finish every Friday?

Our client, Crisp Clean Services, is looking for a reliable and mechanically minded Machine Setter to join its manufacturing team in Curry Rivel.

• Permanent, full-time employment
• 12 noon finish every Friday
• Monday to Friday daytime hours
• Overtime available during busy periods
• 30 days' holiday, including bank holidays
• Two-week summer shutdown
• One-week Christmas shutdown
• Approximately nine flexible holiday days
• Varied work across several types of machinery
• Training available for someone with the right aptitude

What you'll be doing
