The Mission
At Martin-Baker, "precision" isn't just a buzzword it’s a lifesaver. We are the world leader in ejection seats, and every component you touch plays a part in bringing aircrew home safely. We don’t just make parts; we make the difference between life and death.
The Perks of the Job
* Work-Life Balance: Finish at 12:00 PM every Friday. Enjoy a long weekend, every weekend.
* Financial Peace of Mind: Competitive pay + overtime, plus a 9% non-contributory pension (we put in 9%, you don't have to contribute a penny).
* Security: 4x Life Assurance and a Healthcare Cash Plan.
* Extras: Cycle to work scheme, nursery benefits, and exclusive discounts via the Martin-Baker+ platform.
* Subsidised canteen and on-site parking
Your Role
Working in our fast-paced Machine Shop, you’ll be the final pair of eyes and hands ensuring our components are flawless. You’ll:
* Use machinery and hand tools to deburr high-precision parts.
* Set and operate manual machines (milling, broaching, grinding).
* Read technical drawings and take pride in meeting "zero-defect" standards.
* Keep your workspace sharp and efficient using 5S principles.
What We’re Looking For
If you have a background in a machine shop and a "quality-first" mindset, we want to talk to you. You’ll need:
* Solid experience in deburring and manual machining.
* The ability to read and interpret technical drawings.
* A steady hand and an eye for detail.
* Bonus points: CNC experience.
The Process
No black holes here. You’ll have an telephone interview with our recruitment team, followed by a site visit to meet the manager and a short practical "trade test" to show us what you can do.
