We’re working with a world-leading automotive manufacturer with over 100 years of innovation. Their modern, well-organised facility has a strong order book and is continuing to grow and they’re now welcoming Production Operatives to join the team on a long-term basis, with immediate starts available.
This is a supportive, inclusive workplace where people are trained properly, treated with respect, and given opportunities to develop—no matter their background.
The Role

Days: 7am – 3pm
Lates: 3pm – 11pm
Nights: 11pm – 7am
You’ll need to be flexible to work all shifts and overtime when required. Shift premiums reflect this flexibility.
