Senior Mechanical Fitter

A leading manufacturer of specialist equipment serving a global client base across a range of industries is actively seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Fitter / Assembly Operative to join their expanding in-house Electrical & Electronics Assembly Team.

Their site in Sunbury is easily reached by both road (2 minutes from the M3 with free on-site parking) and public transport (few minutes walk from Kempton Park train station) where they have in-house design, fabrication and testing facilities.

This is an exciting time to be joining them as they are continuing to expand their core product ranges, integrating technological developments, and the development of bespoke solutions to meet specific customer needs means that your work will be interesting and varied.

As a Senior Electrical Fitter you will be given full training across all areas of manufacturing and assembly on the shop floor so that in time you will learn new skills and be comfortable moving around. This will not just involve sitting at a bench making the same subassembly day after day!

You will be assembling and testing electrical and electromechanical products so the ability to read engineering drawings and follow instructions is important. In addition to panel building, there may be some assembly of pneumatic and mechanical elements (full training will be provided).

In return they are willing to pay an attractive hourly rate (please state your requirement upon application) and the following:

• 40 hour week
• 20 days holiday + bank holidays (1 day added per year of service up to 5 year where extra 2 days awarded for total of 27 days plus bank holiday)
• Company sick pay available after probation - increases with length of service
• Flexible start and finish times
  • 7am-8am start
  • finish no earlier than 4pm
  • finish at lunchtime on Fridays if all hours made up
• Overtime available at needs of business
• Personalised induction and personal development plan, and clear career progression pathway within the company in the future.

Applications are invited from experienced Electrical Fitters, Assembly Operatives, Panel Wirers, or workshop technicians. Equally, you may enjoy working with your hands and looking for a move into a workshop environment.

We are keen to find workshop members with a real passion for attention to detail. You will need to be self-motivated to work both independently as well as within a team and be comfortable working on several projects simultaneously on occasion.

More information available upon application. Please state your salary expectations upon application.
