Quest Employment is excited to be recruiting for Assembly Operatives for a long-term assignment at a leading company in the Bangrave Road area of Corby. Our client is a global leader in the production and testing of bespoke high-end electrical connectors. This opportunity provides a chance to work with a company that is trusted by a variety of industries to provide engineered solutions for critical applications. With plans to expand their current team, our client is seeking reliable individuals who are eager to develop their skills and become an integral part of their team.

About the Company:

Our client is an industry leader in providing high-quality electrical connectors for a broad range of sectors, including automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, and industrial applications. With a focus on innovation, precision, and reliability, they are committed to delivering world-class products to their clients. The company is expanding its operations, and there is a strong focus on employee development, making this a fantastic opportunity for career growth.

As part of the company’s ongoing expansion, the Assembly Operative roles offer stability and the potential for permanent contracts following a successful probationary period. The company also invests in training for employees to ensure they can fulfill the demands of the role and work to the highest standard.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Independent Work: As an Assembly Operative, you will be primarily working independently on various projects for a range of clients. You will be responsible for assembling electrical connectors and components to precise specifications, ensuring high quality and accuracy in all work.
  • Workstation Setup and Maintenance: You will have your own fully equipped workstation, where you’ll perform assembly tasks, using tools and equipment to produce connectors and parts with a high degree of precision.
  • Reading and Working from Drawings: A key part of the role will involve reading technical drawings and specifications to assemble components. You must be able to follow instructions carefully to ensure accuracy and meet quality standards.
  • Manual Assembly: Tasks will involve both manual assembly and technical assembly tasks, including soldering, loom assembly, and connecting components. Although experience in these areas is preferred, full training will be provided.
  • Quality Control: You will be responsible for ensuring each component you produce meets the strict quality standards set by the company. This will require attention to detail and a focus on accuracy.
  • Consistent Pace: The role requires the ability to maintain a steady and efficient working pace while ensuring the production of high-quality components. The ability to manage your time and prioritize tasks will be essential to your success.
  • Collaboration with Team: Although you will spend a lot of time working independently, you will also be part of a wider team, and collaboration with other operatives may be required to meet production goals.

The Ideal Candidate:

To be considered for this role, you should possess the following qualities:

  • High Level of Dexterity: As the job involves assembling small components, a high level of manual dexterity is essential. You must be comfortable working with delicate and intricate parts.
  • Attention to Detail: The successful candidate will have exceptional attention to detail to ensure the components meet the required specifications and standards.
  • Good Eyesight: As you will be handling small parts and working from technical drawings, good eyesight is necessary to ensure accuracy in your work.
  • Steady Hand: The role requires you to handle small components and tools with care. A steady hand will be crucial for successful assembly.
  • Willingness to Learn: An eagerness to learn new skills is essential. You will receive full training on the tools and techniques required for the role, and your ability to absorb and apply this knowledge will help you succeed.
  • Self-Motivated: You will need to be able to work independently after your initial training. Being self-motivated and able to stay focused on your tasks will be key to your success.
  • Previous Experience (Preferred but not essential): Ideally, experience in an electronics assembly setting or similar manufacturing environment would be an advantage, but this is not essential. Experience with soldering or loom assembly is also a plus but not a requirement.

Why Work for This Client?

  • Full Training Provided: Even if you don’t have prior experience in electronics assembly, the company provides comprehensive training to ensure you are set up for success.
  • Opportunity for Permanent Contract: This is a temporary-to-permanent role, offering an excellent opportunity for reliable candidates to transition into a permanent position with the company after the probation period.
  • Supportive Environment: Work within a welcoming and supportive team with a focus on collaboration and helping you succeed. The company prides itself on maintaining a positive work environment with a strong focus on staff development and career progression.
  • State-of-the-Art Facilities: The company offers excellent working facilities with up-to-date equipment, ensuring you have everything you need to perform your role to the highest standards.
  • Steady Work Pace: The environment is steady-paced, providing you with the opportunity to develop your skills at a comfortable pace without the pressure of rushed deadlines.
  • Excellent Company Culture: The company fosters an engaging and supportive culture with a strong emphasis on employee wellbeing.
