Production Operatives

Pontypool

£13.45 per hour + 15% shift allowance = £15.47 per hour

Rotating 6am–2pm / 2pm–10pm

Paid breaks

Pertemps are currently recruiting Preparation Operatives to join a well-established specialist manufacturing business based in Pontypool.

The company manufactures specialist components and products for the automotive sector, and we're looking for people who enjoy practical, hands-on work to join their busy preparation department.

What will you be doing?

As a Preparation Operative, you'll be responsible for preparing components through a stage-by-stage process before they move onto the next stage of production.

Your day-to-day duties will include:

* Sanding down components to the required finish

* Drilling holes accurately following specification

* Using basic hand and power tools

* Checking your work to ensure it meets quality standards

* Identifying any defects or issues with components

* Following work instructions and production specifications

* Keeping your work area clean, tidy and safe

* Working as part of the wider manufacturing team

This is a hands-on role, so you'll need to be comfortable carrying out practical tasks and working accurately to a set process.

Hours & Shift Pattern

You'll work alternating shifts each week:

* Week 1 – 6:00am to 2:00pm

* Week 2 – 2:00pm to 10:00pm

The shifts then continue to alternate weekly. xjnqpsq

What are we looking for?

We're particularly interested in people who:

* Enjoy practical, hands-on work

* Are confident using basic tools

* Have good attention to detail

* Can follow a process from start to finish

* Are reliable and punctual

* Are comfortable working rotating shifts

* Take pride in producing work to a high standard

*

Full training on the preparation processes will be provided
