• Contributing ideas for continuous improvement in a fast-moving shop

What’s In It for You

• Straight night shift: 5pm – 5am
• 46 hours over 4 nights – no Fridays, enjoy a long weekend every week

• Plenty of paid overtime, including weekends if desired
• 33 days flexible holiday, increasing every 5 years
• Annual pay reviews
