Recent experience in a workshop, mechanical, fabrication or manufacturing setting
Confident using hand and power tools
Able to follow instructions accurately and work at a steady production pace
Physically fit and comfortable with grinding, drilling, lifting and assembly work
Reliable, consistent and able to turn up ready to work every day
