CMD Recruitment is recruiting on behalf of Cross Manufacturing, a world-leading manufacturer supplying precision-engineered components to the aerospace, automotive and industrial sectors.

We are looking for Production Operatives, Manufacturing Operatives and practical, mechanically minded individuals who are looking to develop a long-term career within a skilled production environment.

The Opportunity

This is a temp-to-perm position, with the opportunity to potentially secure a permanent position with Cross Manufacturing following a successful probationary period.

You will receive full training on the company’s products, processes and equipment, making this an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong practical background who is keen to develop their manufacturing skills.

The Role

You will be responsible for manufacturing high-quality precision components while maintaining strict quality and safety standards.

Duties include:

• Operating production machinery and manufacturing equipment
• Manufacturing precision components to engineering specifications
• Conducting quality inspections and visual checks
• Using measuring equipment and production gauges
• Completing production documentation accurately
• Following standard operating procedures and health & safety requirements
• Working to production targets while maintaining excellent quality standards

We are looking for candidates with:

• Previous experience within a manufacturing, production, engineering or other practical environment
• Experience using machinery, tools or manufacturing equipment is advantageous
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing quality products
• Ability to follow written work instructions and manufacturing processes
• Good manual dexterity and practical skills
• A reliable work ethic and excellent attendance record
• A willingness to learn and develop within a precision manufacturing environment

Candidates with a practical or mechanical interest outside of work are also encouraged to apply.

Formal engineering experience is not essential if you have a strong practical aptitude, good attention to detail and a genuine interest in mechanical or manufacturing work.

Full training will be provided on Cross Manufacturing’s products and processes. However, previous experience in a manufacturing, production, engineering or practical environment would be advantageous.

This is a precision manufacturing environment where attention to detail, quality and consistency are essential. It is not a general warehouse or picking and packing role.

If you’re looking for a role where you can build your skills, gain valuable manufacturing experience and potentially secure a permanent position following a successful probationary period, we’d love to hear from you.
