Job summary

Perrin & Rowe in Wolverhampton is hiring a Trainee Polisher to learn the crafts of hand finishing across our luxury finishes. You will join an established team, be paired with a training mentor, and progress step by step through a skills matrix.

Qualifications

• A genuine interest in learning a hands‑on skilled trade — no previous polishing experience is required.
• Patience and a good eye for detail. Polishing is precise work, and getting it right matters more than getting it done quickly.

• Willingness to be trained in line with our skills matrix, and to take feedback from your mentor and team leader.
• The ability to work on your feet in a busy manufacturing environment.

• A safety‑first attitude, for yourself and for the people working alongside you.

• Reporting any quality issues or concerns to your team leader.
• Carrying out routine and preventative maintenance on your equipment once you are trained to do so.
• Letting your team leader know when consumable items are running low.
• Keeping a clean, safe working area and maintaining our 5S housekeeping standards.
• Following Health and Safety requirements at all times.
• Building good working relationships across your team and the wider site.
• Speaking up with suggestions when you spot a better way of doing something.
