  The Role

  We are currently recruiting for an Assembly Operator to join a well-established manufacturing business based in Coventry.

  This is an excellent opportunity for individuals with previous assembly or manufacturing experience who enjoy hands-on work and take pride in producing high-quality products. Working within a low-volume manufacturing environment, no two days are the same. You will be involved in the assembly of a variety of products and components, building different sub-assemblies to customer specifications rather than carrying out repetitive high-volume production work.

  The successful candidate will join a skilled production team, assembling a wide range of parts and components while maintaining high standards of quality, accuracy and attention to detail.

  If you enjoy practical work, thrive in a varied manufacturing environment and are looking for a long-term opportunity with a growing business, we'd like to hear from you.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Assemble a variety of mechanical and electro-mechanical sub-assemblies using hand tools and assembly equipment.
  • Interpret and work from engineering drawings, work instructions and assembly specifications.
  • Build and assemble different products and components to required quality standards.
  • Carry out inspection and quality checks throughout the assembly process.
  • Ensure all assembled products meet customer and company requirements.
  • Record production information accurately and complete required documentation.
  • Identify and report any quality, material or assembly issues.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives within the production area.
  • Maintain a clean, organised and safe working environment.
  • Work closely with team members to ensure production schedules are achieved.

  • Good manual dexterity and practical skills.
  • Reliable, punctual and able to work effectively as part of a team.
  • Positive attitude and willingness to learn new assembly processes.

  Desirable

  • Experience working in low-volume or bespoke manufacturing environments.
  • Previous experience assembling a wide variety of products rather than repetitive production-line work.
  • Experience within automotive, aerospace, engineering or general manufacturing sectors.
  • Understanding of quality inspection processes and documentation.

  What's on Offer

  • £12.80 per hour
  • Day shift working pattern with an early finish every Friday
