We’re growing our production team at SMART Balustrades Ltd and are looking for a skilled, hands-on and motivated Production Operative to join us at our factory in Burntwood, Staffordshire.
This isn’t a role where every day is spent doing the same repetitive task. You’ll be involved in manufacturing and assembling the stainless steel and aluminium components that become finished balustrade and handrail systems installed on construction projects across the UK.
If you enjoy practical work, take pride in getting things right and want to develop your skills within a growing UK Manufacturer, we’d love to hear from you.

- Hours: 40 hours per week, Monday – Friday
- Salary: Competitive, depending on experience
- Overtime: Available
- Role: Permanent, on-site, factory-based position
What You’ll Be Doing
As part of our production team, you’ll be involved in the manufacture and preparation of our balustrade and handrail systems, including:
- Manufacturing and assembling stainless steel handrail and balustrade systems
- Reading and interpreting manufacturing drawings
- Measuring, cutting, drilling and tapping stainless steel tube
- Cutting aluminium glass tracks
- TIG welding stainless steel base plates to posts
- Assembling components using glued joints and bolted connections
- Carrying out quality checks to ensure products meet specification
- Packaging completed products ready for dispatch
- Helping to maintain machinery and a clean, safe working environment
- Occasionally attending site where required
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who enjoys working with their hands, takes pride in producing quality work and has the drive to become an important part of our production team.
Ideally, you’ll have:
- Experience working within a shop-floor or manufacturing environment
- Fitting and/or manufacturing experience
- A basic understanding of manufacturing drawings
- Good attention to detail and a strong focus on quality
- The ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team
- Confidence using your own initiative to solve problems
- A positive, can-do attitude
- A full clean driving licence
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience welding stainless steel and holding a CSCS Card would be beneficial, but are not essential.
Most importantly, we want someone who takes pride in producing quality work and wants to become a valued part of the SMART Team.
Why Join SMART Balustrades?
At SMART, you won’t simply be another person on a production line.
You’ll be joining an ambitious and growing UK Manufacturer where quality, precision and craftsmanship matter. The products you manufacture will go on to form part of real construction projects across the country, giving you the satisfaction of seeing what your work contributes towards.
We’re committed to developing our people, improving the way we work and giving our team the opportunity to learn new skills, take on greater responsibility and progress as the business continues to grow.
