Manufacturing & Machine Operative - Temp to Perm

Stroud, Gloucestershire
Up to -16.00 per hour - dependent on experience
Monday to Thursday | 6:30am - 4:00pm
4-Day Working Week - Every Friday Off!
Temp to Perm | Full Training Provided



Fancy a 3-day weekend, every single week?

If you''re good with your hands, have an eye for detail and enjoy making things properly, this could be a brilliant opportunity to learn a specialist manufacturing skill and build a long-term career.

We''re recruiting Production Operatives / Coil Winders to join a well-established and successful manufacturer based in Stroud.

You don''t need previous coil winding experience. If you have a background in assembly, production, engineering or hands-on manufacturing, the company will provide the specialist training you need.

And with pay of up to -16 per hour, a four-day working week and a genuine temp-to-perm opportunity, there''s plenty to like about this one!



What''s in it for you?

  • Up to -16.00 per hour, depending on experience
  • Every Friday off - enjoy a 3-day weekend every week
  • Monday to Thursday working only
  • Full training in specialist coil winding and manufacturing techniques
  • Genuine temp-to-perm opportunity
  • Opportunity to develop valuable, specialist skills
  • Long-term career prospects with an established manufacturer
  • Supportive and experienced team
  • On-site parking
  • Christmas shutdown
  • Excellent work-life balance


What will you actually be doing?

As a Manufacturing Operative, you''ll be trained to manufacture specialist components where quality, accuracy and attention to detail really matter.

It''s a varied, hands-on role that will include:

  • Setting and programming machinery to produce precision copper coils
  • Winding different gauges of copper wire onto components
  • Working with small and intricate parts
  • Carrying out electrical testing and quality inspections
  • Soldering, crimping and moulding components
  • Using hand tools and specialist production equipment
  • Following technical drawings and detailed work instructions
  • Checking your finished work to ensure it meets quality standards
  • Accurately recording completed production work using company systems

This is precision manufacturing rather than high-speed production, so it will really suit someone who enjoys concentrating on a task and takes pride in producing high-quality work.



Who are we looking for?

You could be a great fit if you have previous experience within assembly, manufacturing, production or a similar hands-on environment.

We''re particularly interested in people who:

  • Have excellent attention to detail
  • Have good manual dexterity and enjoy practical work
  • Are comfortable working with small or intricate components
  • Can confidently use basic hand tools
  • Can follow technical drawings and written instructions
  • Have basic IT skills
  • Take pride in the quality of their work
  • Are reliable, patient and willing to learn something new

An overhead crane licence would be an advantage, but it''s certainly not essential.



Try the role before you start

Successful candidates will also have the opportunity to attend a taster day.

This gives you the chance to see the working environment, meet the team and get a proper feel for the job before committing - so you know exactly what to expect.



Ready for something different?

This isn''t just another production job.

It''s an opportunity to learn a specialist skill, work for an established manufacturer and potentially secure a permanent position - all while enjoying a four-day working week and every Friday off.

If you''re practical, detail-focused and looking for a role where you can develop your skills and build a longer-term career, we''d love to hear from you.
