Maintenance Operative / Workshop Support

Maintenance Operative / Workshop Support – 4 Day Week! Location: Aston, Birmingham (B6) Salary: £13.20 per hour Hours: Monday – Thursday | 07:00 – 16:00 (Every Friday Off!) Contract: Full-time, Permanent / Temp-to-Perm Tired of the 5-day grind? How does a 3-day weekend, every single week, sound? We are a busy recruitment agency representing a leading specialist manufacturer based in Aston. They are looking for a proactive, "hands-on" Maintenance Operative to join their team. This isn't a heavy engineering role; it’s a "jack of all trades" position designed for someone who enjoys variety and being a vital resource across a busy shop floor. The Role: You will be the go-to person for keeping the facility and production lines running smoothly. Your day-to-day will include: * General Maintenance: Handling low-level minor repairs and general site upkeep. * Workshop Support: Assisting the production and CNC teams by moving materials and ensuring the floor stays organized. * Site Housekeeping: Managing waste/recycling and ensuring the factory remains a safe, tidy environment. * Proactive Problem Solving: Seeing a task that needs doing—whether it’s fixing a fixture or clearing a space—and just getting on with it. The Requirements: * Production Experience (Essential): You must have a background working in a manufacturing or factory environment. You understand shop floor etiquette and health and safety. * Plastics Experience (Highly Desirable): If you’ve worked in a plastics-related environment (vacuum forming, CNC, or similar), that would be an excellent advantage. * Practical Skills: You should be confident using basic hand tools and have a "handyman" mindset. * Reliability: We need a dependable worker who is ready for a 7:00 AM start. Why Apply? * Work-Life Balance: The 4-day week is the star here. Work hard Monday to Thursday and never work a Friday again. * Stability: A competitive rate of £13.20 per hour with a well-established local employer. * Variety: You won’t be stuck in one spot; you’ll be active and involved in different tasks across the whole site
