We're working with a leading manufacturer that’s upgrading their Extra Processing Division — and they need a seasoned machinist or sheet metal tradesperson to take charge of the floor, improve workflows, train staff and help plan their next-generation machine shop.
This isn’t just turning the handle — you’ll be:
- Reshaping workshop layout for better flow and efficiency
- Setting best-practice machining and fabrication standards
- Coaching a small team and influencing change
- Scoping tools and processes for expanded services (milling, drilling, stud welding, and more)
- Trade-qualified in machining or sheet metal
- Strong experience in metal fabrication and shop floor optimisation
- Confident leading from the front — this is hands-on, not clipboard management
- Practical, solutions-driven, and ready to make a real impact
- Autonomy to run your own improvement project
- Work with a team that’s open to change
- Short-term contract with strong day rate and flexibility
