Leicester LE JS, United Kingdom RDD Creative Full time

Workshop Assistant (with Vacuum Forming)

RDD specialises in the design, development, and manufacture of retail POS displays for high-street and luxury brands. We are looking for workshop assistants (plastics fabrication/joinery) to join our Leicester-based workshop team.

Key Skills and Experience:

CNC machining plastics, hand tools, laser cutting, vacuum forming

We are looking for people with at least 12 months of experience setting up and running a vacuum-forming machine. They must also have some existing CNC machining and workshop skills; training will be given on equipment that you are not familiar with.

You will work to the principles of 5S and other lean tools to ensure the workshop runs safely and efficiently.

Communication

We operate in a deadline-driven environment, with all departments working together to ensure projects leave on time and in full. You will be working closely with your team, supervisors and managers to ensure the smooth running of multiple bespoke projects simultaneously. If your targets are in danger, you will inform your line manager so the team can be sufficiently resourced to make up any shortfall.

Sustainability

In an industry that often produces temporary retail displays, we strive to improve sustainability. You will support this effort by identifying ways to reduce waste and energy use, and by learning about new materials or processes that could improve our work.

The Role

You'll be working closely with the General Manager and Workshop Supervisor, and will be responsible for the operation of machines within the workshop, ensuring quality, accuracy, and safety. You'll have daily targets to support the production schedule, and departmental KPIs to work towards to help meet our business goals. You'll have regular 121s with your line manager and the opportunity to contribute ideas, issues and improvements at team meetings.

Details:

· 40 hours per week min. Monday to Friday. We operate shifts and /or overtime as required to meet the needs of the business.

· Pension scheme

· Skills training provided

· Salary £25,000 to £28,000 pa depending on existing skills (as detailed above)

· Leicester-based; it's essential that you live within easy commuting of our site in LE1

No agencies please.
