Overtime: £16.90 - £25.42
Houghton Le Spring
Build something you can be proud of—together.
We’re working with a world-leading automotive manufacturer with over 100 years of innovation. Their modern, well-organised facility has a strong order book and is continuing to grow and they’re now welcoming Production Operatives to join the team on a long-term basis, with immediate starts available.
This is a supportive, inclusive workplace where people are trained properly, treated with respect, and given opportunities to develop—no matter their background.
The Role
As a Production Operative, you’ll be part of a close-knit production team, where quality, safety, and teamwork matter.
You’ll be trained to:
* Use specialist equipment such as air tools, spray guns, and hog rings
* Assemble and produce high-quality automotive components
* Carry out visual quality checks on your own work
* Follow clear health & safety processes designed to keep everyone safe
* Support your teammates to keep production running smoothly
No two days are exactly the same, and you’ll learn valuable skills used across modern manufacturing.
Shift Pattern
This role operates on a two-shift rotation:
Days:
* Monday – Thursday 6:45am – 3pm
* Friday – 6:45am – 2:30pm
Lates:
* Monday – Thursday 4:20pm – 00:35
* Friday – 2:55pm – 10:40pm
You’ll need to be flexible to work all shifts and overtime when required.
Shift premiums reflect this flexibility.
What We’re Looking For
We’re interested in people, not just CVs.
* Manufacturing experience is helpful but not essential—full training is provided
* A positive attitude, reliability, and willingness to learn
* Ability to work as part of a team in a structured environment
If you’ve worked in care, retail, hospitality, warehousing, or production before, your skills are highly transferable.
What You’ll Get in Return
* Competitive hourly pay with generous shift premiums
* Full training and ongoing development
* Long-term, stable work with permanent opportunities
* Summer and winter factory shutdowns
* Subsidised onsite canteen
* Free tea and coffee
* Free onsite parking (cars, motorbikes, and bicycles)
* Leisure facilities (including a pool table)
* Lockers and personal storage
* Free feminine hygiene products
* Regular wellbeing events and initiatives
