Overview
Ceramic cores are a critical part of how advanced aerospace components are manufactured. At our Corby site, we produce high-precision ceramic cores that help shape some of the world's most complex engineering products.
We're looking for a General Operative – Finishing to join our PM Shift team. This role is all about precision, consistency, and attention to detail. If you're someone who takes pride in producing quality work and doesn't mind repetitive tasks (because getting it right matters), this could be a great fit.
The Role
Working within our Outputs team, you'll be preparing and finishing wax-coated ceramic core products to the required quality standards. Much of the work involves careful hand movements, close visual inspection, and following established processes to ensure every component meets specification.
This isn't a role where every day looks dramatically different. There will be periods of repetitive work and sitting for extended periods, but for the right person, that's often part of the appeal—you know what good looks like and you focus on delivering it consistently.
Responsibilities
What You'll Do
- Prepare wax-coated components in line with production requirements
- Carry out detailed visual inspections and quality checks
- Follow standard operating procedures and work instructions
- Handle components carefully to avoid damage during processing
- Complete production records accurately and on time
- Support the team in meeting production and quality targets
- Maintain a clean, organised, and safe work area
- Raise any quality, process, or safety concerns when identified
