Description

"You Break It, We Make It."
From designing and manufacturing enclosures, ramps, barriers, machine guarding, frames, cabinets and trolleys, to creating one-off bespoke solutions for operational teams, no two days are the same.
If you take pride in quality craftsmanship, enjoy solving problems and thrive in a customer-focused environment, we'd love to hear from you.
Shift Pattern: 4 x 10 hour shifts Monday to Thursday (07:00-17:00), 1 x 10 hour night per month (19.00-05.00).
Responsibilities
You'll be part of a dedicated team that designs, fabricates, manufactures and installs practical engineering solutions across the Heathrow campus.
