* Using hand tools confidently to prep and finish components
* Performing drilling and minor metalwork tasks as required
* Inspecting parts for quality and consistency before passing on to the next stage
* Maintaining a clean and organised workspace
* Following health and safety procedures at all times
What we’re looking for:
