Pertemps are currently recruiting Preparation Operatives to join a well-established specialist manufacturing business based in Pontypool.

The company manufactures specialist components and products for the automotive sector, and we're looking for people who enjoy practical, hands-on work to join their busy preparation department.

What will you be doing?

As a Preparation Operative, you'll be responsible for preparing components through a stage-by-stage process before they move onto the next stage of production.

Your day-to-day duties will include:

  • Sanding down components to the required finish

  • Drilling holes accurately following specifications

  • Preparing and finishing components ready for production

  • Following a clear stage-by-stage preparation process

  • Using basic hand and power tools

  • Checking your work to ensure it meets quality standards

  • Identifying any defects or issues with components

  • Following work instructions and production specifications

  • Keeping your work area clean, tidy and safe

  • Working as part of the wider manufacturing team


This is a hands-on role, so you'll need to be comfortable carrying out practical tasks and working accurately to a set process.

Hours & Shift Pattern

You'll work alternating shifts each week:

  • Week 1 - 6:00am to 2:00pm

  • Week 2 - 2:00pm to 10:00pm

The shifts then continue to alternate weekly.

What are we looking for?

Previous experience within manufacturing, production, engineering, assembly or another hands-on environment would be an advantage.

We're particularly interested in people who:

  • Enjoy practical, hands-on work

  • Are confident using basic tools

  • Have good attention to detail

  • Can follow a process from start to finish

  • Are reliable and punctual

  • Are comfortable working rotating shifts

  • Take pride in producing work to a high standard

Full training on the preparation processes will be provided.
