Full job descriptionAre you a hands-on, mechanically minded individual with
experience working within a manufacturing or production
environment?

Do you have experience with hydraulics, reading engineering
schematics or maintaining mechanical equipment?

We’re supporting an established engineering and manufacturing
business who are looking for a Mechanical Assembly Operative to
join their Production team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a practical
mechanical background who enjoys working with their hands,
understanding how equipment works and ensuring products are
assembled and tested to the highest standards.

What’s the role all about?

As the Mechanical Assembly Operative, you’ll be responsible for
the accurate assembly of specialist filtration products, working
from engineering drawings, technical instructions and job cards.

We’re particularly interested in speaking with candidates who
have a mechanical maintenance, production engineering or hands-on
assembly background, ideally with some exposure to hydraulic
systems.

You’ll need to be comfortable interpreting engineering drawings
and schematics, including understanding how mechanical systems
and test rigs operate.

This is a varied, hands-on position where attention to detail,
mechanical understanding and a proactive approach are essential.

What will you be doing?

* Assemble mechanical components and filtration products to
engineering specifications
* Read and interpret engineering drawings, technical schematics
and job cards

* Understand mechanical assemblies and how components work
together
* Work with mechanical equipment and support assembly activities
involving test rigs
* Use hand tools and measuring equipment to ensure accurate
assembly
* Follow detailed manufacturing instructions and quality
procedures
* Inspect assembled components to ensure they meet required
standards
* Identify and report mechanical issues, defects or equipment
concerns
* Complete accurate production records, test sheets and
traceability documentation
* Work closely with Production and Engineering teams to resolve
issues
* Ensure products are completed within planned production times
* Maintain a clean, organised and safe working environment
* Support continuous improvement activities and help minimise
waste and rework
What do you need?

We’re looking for someone with:

* A strong mechanical aptitude and hands-on approach

* Previous experience within mechanical assembly, maintenance or
production

* Ability to read and understand engineering drawings and
schematics

* Experience working with mechanical components, equipment or
machinery
* A good understanding of how mechanical systems operate
* Confidence using hand tools and measuring equipment
* Strong attention to detail and accuracy
* Good problem-solving skills
* Ability to follow technical instructions and procedures
* A proactive and reliable approach to work
You don’t necessarily need to come from an assembly background.
We’d also be interested in candidates who have worked in
mechanical maintenance or production environments and have the
practical skills to transfer into this position.

Desirable

It would be particularly beneficial if you have:

* Previous experience working with hydraulic systems or
components

* Experience reading test rig schematics or hydraulic circuit
diagrams

* A background in mechanical maintenance within a production
environment

* Experience assembling or maintaining mechanical equipment
* Previous experience within aerospace, engineering or precision
manufacturing
* Knowledge of filtration products
* Experience working within a quality-controlled manufacturing
environment
* Exposure to continuous improvement or 5S
About you

You’ll be someone who enjoys understanding how things work and
isn’t afraid to get hands-on.

You’ll be:

* Mechanically minded and practical
* Confident working with tools and equipment
* Methodical and detail-focused
* A strong problem solver
* Comfortable reading technical information
* Reliable and self-motivated
* Willing to learn new processes and equipment
* Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone with a genuine
mechanical understanding rather than simply general production
experience.

Why join?

This is an opportunity to join an established engineering and
manufacturing business where you’ll be working with specialist
products in a technical production environment.

You’ll have the opportunity to apply your existing mechanical
knowledge while developing further skills in precision assembly,
engineering processes and specialist filtration products.

Interested?

If you’re an experienced Mechanical Assembly Operative,
Mechanical Fitter, Maintenance Technician, Production Technician
or Mechanical Assembler with a hands-on mechanical background,
we’d love to hear from you.
