Job description

We’re expanding an engineering team for a global high‑tech manufacturer in South Wales, and we’re looking for multi‑skilled professionals who want long‑term growth in a clean, modern, and highly structured environment.

If you’re hands‑on, technically trained, and confident working across both mechanical and electrical systems, this is a strong next step. We welcome people from the forces, automotive, engineering, manufacturing, or any practical technical background; your transferable skills matter.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll work in a cleanroom facility on PC‑based equipment (minimal PLC work), carrying out:

  • Strip‑downs and rebuilds
  • Calibrations and precision adjustments
  • Fault recovery and problem‑solving
  • Procedure‑driven, repeatable tasks to high-quality standards

This is a well‑organised, planned environment, ideal for someone who enjoys structure, consistency, and technical challenge without chaos.

What We’re Looking For

  • A formal engineering/technical qualification (C&G, NVQ, HNC, etc.)
  • Ideally, a completed apprenticeship (any discipline considered)
  • Strong mechanical and electrical capability
  • Experience with pneumatics or vacuum systems is a bonus
  • Open‑minded, adaptable candidates from any hands‑on technical field

Shift Pattern & Pay

  • 4 and 3 day weeks rotating (one week you have 3 days off, the next 4 days off)
  • 12‑hour shifts: permanent days (7am–7pm) or nights (7pm–7am)
  • Fixed pattern, no rotation
  • Shift allowance:
  • Days (Sun/Mon/Tue + alt Sat): +30%
  • Days (Wed/Thu/Fri + alt Sat): +20%
  • Nights (all patterns): +50%

Why Join?

  • Stable, well‑paid role in a cutting‑edge manufacturing environment
  • Clear development pathways as part of a major site expansion
  • Work with modern equipment in a clean, well‑run facility
  • Supportive team culture with long‑term progression built in

If you’re multi‑skilled, motivated, and ready for a high‑tech environment where you can grow, we’d love to speak with you.
