Production Operative in Precision Assembly - Door Lock Manufacturing
Location: Carlisle
Hours: Full-time, Monday to Friday
Pay: £12.60 per hour

Do you have great attention to detail and a steady hand? We're looking for a skilled and focused individual to join our production operative team in a hands-on role assembling high-quality door locks.

About the Role:
You'll be part of a small, dedicated team responsible for assembling precision components including cutting keys, fitting pins, and building lock barrels. This is delicate, detail-driven work - ideal for someone who enjoys working with their hands and takes pride in getting things just right.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Assembling cylinder door locks with precision and care
  • Inserting tiny pins into lock barrels to exact specifications
  • Cutting and fitting keys to match lock configurations
  • Ensuring products meet strict quality standards
  • Maintaining a clean and organised workstation
  • Following safety and production procedures at all times

What We're Looking For:

  • Excellent manual dexterity and attention to detail
  • Ability to work with small components accurately
  • Patience and focus - this is precision work, not production line speed
  • Previous experience in a similar assembly or fine motor skill role is desirable but not essential - full training will be provided
  • A reliable team player with a can-do attitude

Why Join Us?

  • Supportive, close-knit team environment
  • Training provided with opportunities to develop specialist skills
  • A role where quality matters more than speed
  • Long-term, secure opportunity
  • Apply now and bring your steady hands and sharp eye to a role where precision makes all the difference.
