Experience working with assemblies, components and bills of materials.
A good understanding of mechanical engineering and manufacturing processes.
Strong attention to detail and good technical documentation skills.
A practical, organised approach with the ability to work independently and as part of a small team.
Desirable Experience
Experience in any of the following would be advantageous, although not essential:
Valves, pumps, hydraulics, pneumatics or fluid control equipment.
Precision engineering, machined components or castings.
Industrial machinery, mechanical equipment or pressure systems.
Engineering standards such as PED, ASME, EN or API.
ERP/MRP systems and engineering change control.
What's on Offer
Salary: £30,000–£40,000, depending on experience.
Permanent, full-time position.
37.5-hour working week.
Flexible working hours.
25 days' holiday plus bank holidays.
