Do you have manual turning experience working to low tolerances? Are looking for a 4-day work week?

With two retirements on the horizon, this is a chance to step into a stable, well‑run workshop where quality comes first and processes have been refined over 20 years.

  • Working to tight tolerances, and machining a wide range of materials including aluminium, steels, plastics, and ceramics
  • You’ll read and interpret engineering drawings, set up your own jobs, and use mechanical and digital measuring tools to check your work

About you

  • You’ll have recent experience using manual lathes, confidence working to

If you’ve worked in a small engineering firm before, or you’ve come through an apprenticeship route, you’ll feel right at home.
