Nelson, England, North West

Press Brake Operator
Permanent

Are you a Press Brake Setter / Operator looking for your next permanent position? Is Nelson in Lancashire somewhere you could easily commute to? Would a salary of between £30000 - £35000 DOE be something you're happy with? Have you got experience using Trumpf equipment? Happy working at a company that sees you as an individual, rather than just another employee? If you have answered "yes" to the above questions, please read on and apply if interested. Suitable candidates will be called and given additional information on the company and the position. You will be working on a state-of-the-art piece of machinery along with a couple of older models.

Duties Include:

  • Produce quality folded components to a high standard consistently from programmes, drawings, and data supplied by the Production Manager.
  • Assist the Production Manager in the efficient use of plant and tooling within the section. Identify and solve problems before folding operations commence and report all such instances to the Production Manager.
  • Identify any order shortages before folding operations commence and inform the Leading Hand.
  • Suggest improvements to the production process and procedure to maintain the highest standards of quality for both our external customers and internal companies.
  • Monitor the safe use of all machines and tooling within the folding section and report any machine issues, breakdowns, tooling damage, or any other issues likely to impact productivity or the safety of team members to the Leading Hand.
  • Monitor the condition of all hand tools and measuring equipment within the section and to ensure that all tools are fit for purpose. A list of hand tools and equipment issued to each team member is attached.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
