About the Role
Looking for steady, long-term work where you’ll actually build your skills and see your pay rise because of it? Fancy finishing your working week on a Thursday? This one’s worth a look.
We’re recruiting on behalf of one of the UK’s leading independent engineering companies, specialists in modular and offsite manufacturing. Their modern site sits just off the M606 in Bradford (BD12), an easy commute from South Bradford, South Leeds, Birstall, Halifax and North Huddersfield.
Please note: we’re currently taking expressions of interest for roles due to start in January 2027. Get your name down now and you’ll be first in line when interviews and site visits are arranged.
If you’re handy with a pair of crimpers, can find your way around a schematic and enjoy fiddly, precise work, this is a great chance to put those skills to use and build on them. Full training is provided on the company’s build standards, and there’s a clear path to progress.
Your Working Week
Monday to Wednesday: 07:00 – 17:00
Thursday: 07:00 – 16:30
