What you'll do:

• Assist the Product engineering team with the manufacture of prototype products.
• Continuously challenge and improve manufacturing processes, identify value engineering opportunities.
• Set up and operate machine tools
• Fabricate, repair and reconstruct mechanical parts
• Read and interpret engineering drawings
• Ensure compliance with all Health and Safety protocols

• Have served a recognised apprenticeship in the use of machining processes including turning and milling with welding also included
