Full Job Description

If you are the kind of person who has a genuine eye for detail, is very dextrous and comfortable with small parts wiring (to jig) work, enjoys variety in daily tasks and takes a genuine pride in your output, then we have just the job for you.

Our client is a busy electroplating & anodising company, based in the Portslade area of Brighton.
