Job description

Salary: Competitive with pay progression scheme

Location: Andover

Do you like to build, make, fix and craft? Perhaps you crochet or needlepoint? You might be a member of Brickish or AFOL, or perhaps you just help your kids build their latest kits. Maybe your proudest moment was when your child won the year 3 prize for the best world book day costume (that you painstakingly created), or are you painting D&D models, airfix kits or tinkering with cars at the weekend? Maybe you’re the one everyone asks to build their IKEA furniture. If you have a keen interest in making, fixing, building or crafting this could be the role for you.

We’re growing and are looking for additional Production Operatives at our Andover factory.

What we’re looking for are people who like to work with their hands, enjoy an attention to detail and take pride in high quality practical work.

We’re committed to diversity in our team and are keen to encourage all applicants. We’re supportive of flexible working and because of the policies we’ve introduced are this year’s winner of the Women in Defence Most Improved Charter Signatory award. We are also signatories to the Armed Forces Covenant and Bronze award holders for the Defence Employers Recognition Scheme.
