Own a piece of where you work: If you are a manual turner or manual lathe machinist who wants real job security, a profit share every month, and a genuine stake in the business, this Cardiff role is worth a look. The numbers speak for themselves: Over the last two years, the team's profit share has averaged £5,600 - £6,750 each. On top of that, the tax-free EOT bonus has been around £3,600 a year - worth roughly 20-30% more than the same money taxed.

Generous Annual Leave from Day One: You’ll get 24 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays from Day One. Much more than the standard 20 days that most employers offer. They want a team that works hard and is rewarded with quality time off.
