Your future role

• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and support ongoing process development
• Meet deadlines and performance targets set by the Assembly Team Leader
• Build and maintain strong working relationships across the assembly team and Manufacturing functions
• Promptly report any Health and Safety concerns or near misses to the Assembly Team Leader
• High-quality, efficient and safe assembly and engineering work.
• Strong fault-finding, problem-solving, and time management skills.
• Consistent focus on customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.
