Why Join FourJaw?

FourJaw is a friendly tech start-up based in Sheffield City Centre. Our engineers build IoT-powered analytics tools that connect directly to machines on the shop floor, giving manufacturers real-time insights into productivity.

Our mission is simple but powerful: deliver accessible technology that empowers manufacturers to achieve their productivity potential. Raising productivity is about more than statistics. It is about improving lives and livelihoods, raising aspirations, and securing a long-term future for the manufacturing industry and the people it supports.

Inclusivity at FourJaw

We value diverse perspectives and focus on skills and potential. Research shows many talented people hesitate to apply unless they meet every requirement. If you are excited about the role but do not tick every box, we still encourage you to apply. You might be exactly who we need.
