Contact: Emily or Sammy at Pearson Whiffin Recruitment
Salary: £25-30k dependent on experience & skill set


Are you looking to start a genuine career in precision engineering and metal manufacturing?


Do you want to learn how high-quality engineered components are produced — including exposure to CNC machinery — within a supportive and experienced team?
We are working exclusively with a long-established specialist engineering manufacturer based on the outskirts of Maidstone who produce precision-engineered metal components for a variety of bespoke applications.


This is not a production-line environment. Each project is slightly different, requiring accuracy, care and attention to detail.


The Role
This is a hands-on workshop position where you will learn every aspect of the manufacturing process from experienced engineers. Full training will be provided, but you must bring the right attitude and a genuine desire to develop technical skills.


You will be involved in:
* Assemble and build precision-engineered metal components
* Work confidently with hand tools and workshop equipment
* Support the operation of CNC machinery and learn machining principles
* Read and interpret engineering drawings
* Understand tolerances and quality standards
* Contribute to a team focused on producing high-quality bespoke products
* Maintaining high standards of quality and attention to detail
Over time, you will gain exposure to increasingly technical tasks as your confidence and capability grow.


What We’re Looking For:
We would love to hear from individuals who:
* A genuine interest in engineering, metalwork or manufacturing
* Practical ability and good hand skills
* Strong attention to detail and pride in your work
* Willingness to learn technical processes
* A positive, team-focused attitude
This would suit a college leaver from an engineering or manufacturing course, someone who enjoys hands-on mechanical work, or an individual looking to move into a structured precision engineering environment.


Why Join?
* Permanent, stable role within a respected engineering SME
* Structured training and technical skill development
* Exposure to CNC machining and precision metal manufacturing
* Varied, bespoke work — not repetitive assembly
* Long-term progression potential


If you’re serious about building a career in engineering and want to learn the right way from experienced professionals, this is a fantastic opportunity.
