This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing production environment where training, stability, and craftsmanship are valued.

    This role combines mould preparation, GRP laminating, and component assembly, offering variety in your day‑to‑day work and the chance to develop specialist composite manufacturing skills. You'll be involved in producing durable GRP structures supplied across the UK and internationally.

      • Walls, roofs, doors, and fittings
      • Aligning and fixing components to achieve precise fit and finish
    • Working from engineering drawings and production information
    • Maintaining consistently high standards of workmanship and quality

    What This Role Offers You

    • Full training in GRP composite processes
    • A stable, temporary to permanent opportunity position with regular daytime hours
    • Varied, hands‑on work – no two days are the same
    • The chance to build specialist manufacturing skills in a growing sector
    • A supportive team environment with clear production processes
    • Work you can take pride in, contributing to high‑quality engineered products

    What We're Looking For

    • Practical experience using hand tools or working in a manufacturing environment
    • Ability (or willingness to learn) to read drawings and follow instructions
    • Good understanding of basic measurements and accuracy
    • Attention to detail and a methodical approach to tasks
    • A positive attitude and ability to work well within a team
    • Reliability and a willingness to learn new skills

    Benefits

    • Temporary to Permanent opportunity
    • Industry training. Career development
    • 28 days holiday, rising to 32 days
    • Free onsite parking

    If you're looking for a practical role where you can learn, grow, and be part of a skilled production team, this position offers a solid foundation and long‑term opportunity.
