Other Areas

As a small manufacturing company, we very much have a “hands-on” attitude. This may mean that you may have to “roll your sleeves up” and muck in on other projects, including marketing or promotional work at exhibitions.

Who you are:

- Most importantly for us is that we are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and has a “can do” attitude to match the rest of the team.
- Bright and efficient.
- Someone proactive.
- A self-starter.
- Someone with a very high attention to detail.
- IT literate in Excel and an understanding of any accounting package (noting most system knowledge is transferable nowadays and you will be trained).
- Min 3-5 years experience working in a similar area would be helpful.

We are happy to help coach and teach someone with the right attitude and aptitude for the role but as a small team will need someone who “radiates energy”.
