Working in a team environment you will work on a range of products and will be trained on reading and understanding lay-up drawings to enable you to use your laminating skills to carry out the required workload to the lay-up specification. In time you will need to utilise your skills to query any error or change that you may observe on any particular job.

Candidates should possess a fine eye for details, have good hand eye coordination, be able to follow written and verbal instructions, be practical and enjoy practical working and be able to work under tight timescales.

What we offer:

All of these roles are day shifts, working a 40 hour week Monday to Friday between 07.00 – 16.30.

· Competitive rates of pay.

· Annual pay reviews.

· Company pension.

· 22 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays, rising to 27 days with service.

· Employee Assistance Programme.

· Employee referral scheme bonus.

· Dental Cover.

Interview Process:

We will be holding interviews week commencing 22 & 29 April 2024.

A second stage will involve coming in for a 3 – 4 hour session where you will spend time being shown an overview of the work we do, the processes involved and watching our Laminators at work (this time will be paid). There will be opportunity for you to speak with some of our most experienced Laminators and Trainers and ask any questions you may have.

If you are successful we will be looking at a start date of 13 May 2024.
