Job Type: Full-Time, Permanently employed by the business

We are recruiting for a Saw Operator to join a well-established manufacturing company based in Kingswinford

This is an excellent opportunity to become part of a friendly team in a clean, organised manufacturing environment with free on-site parking, excellent working conditions, and genuine long-term job security.

Lots of opportunity for overtime paying premium overtime rates so if you're all about earning extra money and putting the work in.... here will be perfect for you!

The Role

This is a fast-paced, hands-on position where accuracy and efficiency are equally important. You'll be responsible for operating a band saw, measuring and cutting materials to customer specifications, and managing your own workload from start to finish.

This isn't a role for someone who likes to stand around waiting to be told what to do. We need someone who is proactive, takes pride in their work, and is happy to get involved in all aspects of the operation.

Your duties will include:

• Setting up and operating a band saw.
• Measuring materials accurately using tapes, Vernier calipers, and other measuring equipment.
• Cutting materials to customer specifications and engineering drawings.
• Feeding your own machine using an overhead crane and forklift truck.
• Banding, labelling, and preparing finished products for dispatch.
• Carrying out quality checks to ensure products meet specification.
• Keeping your work area clean, safe, and organised.
• Supporting the wider warehouse and production team when required.

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience operating a band saw within a manufacturing or steel environment.
• Confident using measuring equipment, including Vernier calipers.
• Experience reading measurements accurately and working to tight tolerances.
• An overhead crane licence is advantageous.
• A valid Counterbalance FLT licence is desirable.
• Someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and takes ownership of their work.
• A reliable team player with a strong work ethic and attention to detail.

We're not looking for someone who'll stand with their hands on their hips waiting for the next job. We need someone who's happy to keep busy, manage their own workload, and contribute to the success of the team every day.

If you're looking for a long-term opportunity where hard work is recognised, you'll be given responsibility from day one, and you'll be part of a company that values its employees, we'd love to hear from you.
