But this is not just about process, it is about people too, you will be part of a team that genuinely looks out for one another, a place where if you need help, someone steps in, a place where you will be encouraged to broaden your skills across different areas, not boxed into one corner, the kind of culture that makes people stay.

This is a business with stability and a strong pipeline of work, but it is also a place that values fresh thinking.

As Manufacturing Engineer you will be listened to, if you see a better way to do something, they want to hear it.
