If you've got a strong mechanical fitting background and thrive in a fast-paced, quality-driven environment - this is where you make an impact.

What you'll be doing:

As a Skilled Fitter, you'll be hands-on from day one - assembling, fitting, and testing high-integrity aerospace components. It's complex, high-stakes work where quality and safety aren't optional - they're everything.

Key Responsibilities:

What you bring:

You're switched on, reliable, and have a sharp eye for detail. You've got the skills and confidence to take a job from start to finish without hand-holding - and you take pride in doing it right first time.

Essential:

  • Time-served apprenticeship or equivalent hands-on fitting experience
  • Solid mechanical fitting/assembly background in manufacturing or engineering
  • Comfortable working with technical drawings, quality systems, and measuring tools
  • A proactive mindset - you don't wait to be told what needs fixing
  • A commitment to safety and high-quality workmanship

Desirable:

  • Experience in aerospace or defence manufacturing
  • Familiar with lean tools like 5S, root cause, and continuous improvement
  • Confident using a range of hand and power tools

What's on offer?

  • A role with purpose - supporting world-class aerospace programmes
  • A supportive team culture that values safety, integrity, and innovation
  • Opportunities for further training, development, and progression
