About you

Ideally, you will have:
- Exposure to relevant environments such as manufacturing, graphic design, signage production or similar.
- Experience of fabrication in light materials such as plastics, alloys or stainless steel would be very beneficial.
- Previous exposure to operating CNC equipment (laser cutter preferred) - also beneficial.
- Above average proficiency using standard office systems and ideally, exposure to CAD software such as Fusion 360 or SolidWorks.
- Ability to learn and understand technical standards and codes of engineering design.
You don't want just a job, but a career path into a role where you are expected to think for yourself and make decisions.
You certainly want to be given the opportunity to grow your skills and to be fairly rewarded for your talent.
And finally, you are also someone who relishes being trusted to do what you do best - work smart, work safe, find solutions, and own what you do.
