Heat Treatment Operative

Pay: £14-£16 per hour (depending on experience)

Job Type: Permanent

We're looking for a Heat Treatment Operative to join the team. This is a hands-on role working in a specialist area of production, processing thin gauge aluminium parts used in the aerospace industry.

What the role involves

• Loading and unloading aluminium components into heat treatment furnaces
• Running heat treatment processes (e.g. solution treatment, ageing, annealing) to set instructions
• Monitoring temperatures, timings and process cycles to make sure parts meet spec
• Quenching and cooling parts safely using the correct methods
• Checking and recording process data and job information
• Preparing parts before and after treatment (cleaning, handling, moving between stages)
• Working to route cards, work instructions and production schedules
• Carrying out basic inspections and supporting quality checks
• Keeping the work area clean and organised in line with 5S standards
• Following all health & safety procedures at all times

(Typical duties in similar roles include operating furnaces, controlling heating cycles, quenching materials, and ensuring parts meet aerospace quality standards.) [uk.jooble.org], [wtalent.com]

What we're looking for

• Previous experience in a manufacturing environment (heat treatment experience is ideal but not essential)
• Understanding of production processes and working to instructions
• Any experience with heat treatment, furnaces, or metal processing would be an advantage
• Ability to read basic job sheets, drawings or route cards
• Good attention to detail - especially around quality and traceability
• Comfortable working in a production environment and handling components
• Basic computer skills for recording jobs and data
• Reliable, hands-on and able to work as part of a team

The role

This is a shop floor-based role, so you'll be working closely with production and quality teams day to day. The work is fairly physical and requires a good level of care and attention, especially given the standards required for aerospace parts.
