12-Month Contract
Accommodation Support Available for Mainland Contractors
Join a Major Aerospace Manufacturing Programme
Morson Edge is currently recruiting experienced Skilled Fitters to support a prestigious aerospace manufacturing programme based on the Isle of Wight.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly skilled production team working on advanced aircraft structures and assemblies within a quality-driven aerospace environment.
Why Apply?
- Accommodation allowance of up to £1,400 per month for mainland contractors
- Ferry travel support
- Long-term aerospace programme
- Opportunity to work on advanced aircraft structures and assemblies
- Well-established engineering environment
Additional Support for Mainland Contractors
We recognise that relocating or commuting to the Isle of Wight is a significant consideration.
To support contractors travelling from the mainland, the package includes:
- Accommodation allowance of up to £1,400 gross per month
- Monthly ferry reimbursement up to £100
- Long-term contract providing greater earning stability
- Overtime opportunities where available
For many contractors, the accommodation contribution significantly reduces the impact of working away from home while allowing them to gain experience on a major aerospace programme.
