• Prioritise Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) -- your safety always comes first.
• Carry out delicate, hands-on tasks with precision and care for quality.
• Work closely with your teammates in a supportive, close-knit environment.
• Read and interpret technical/engineering drawings (we'll train you!).
• Assist with setup and transfer of parts across production areas like Press and Kiln.
• Handle small, intricate components using steady hands and fine motor skills.
• Prepare parts for 3D scanning and ensure proper packaging and labeling.
• Be adaptable -- pitch in wherever needed to keep production running smoothly.

• Hands-on, satisfying work that makes a real impact on high-performance aerospace parts.
• A workplace that values your strengths -- like patience, attention to detail, and teamwork.
• Training provided -- whether you're upskilling or starting fresh, we've got your back.
• Opportunities to grow and build a long-term career in advanced manufacturing.
• Join a company that values inclusion, safety, and shared success.

What We're Looking For

• A strong sense of ownership and accountability in your work.
• Comfortable using your hands and working with small, delicate parts.
• Open to learning -- especially how to read technical instructions and drawings.
• A team player with a positive, can-do attitude.
• Prior manufacturing or engineering experience is great -- but not essential.
