We are seeking a skilled Bench Fitter to support production through the maintenance, repair and manufacture of press tooling. This is a hands-on position suited to someone confident working independently, with strong finishing and fitting skills — particularly in the polishing of press tools — and the ability to respond quickly to production demands.

A competitive salary is available, alongside day shift working hours. Training and development opportunities can be offered for the right individual.

Key Responsibilities

• Polish, finish and maintain high-quality standards across production tooling
• Inspect tools for defects and carry out visual checks to identify areas requiring further polishing or repair
• Work closely with toolmakers to ensure each stage of the polishing and finishing process is completed in the correct sequence and within required timescales
• Maintain and repair press tooling to support ongoing production
• Work with a range of materials, including hardened tool steels

Desirable Qualifications & Experience

• City & Guilds Engineering Level 2 (or equivalent)
• Mechanical or general engineering apprenticeship
• Knowledge of press/die tooling
• Experience in tool making, tool repair, and JIG Tool & Die maintenance
• Competence with milling, turning, drilling and tapping equipment, as well as hand tools
• Ability to read and interpret component and tooling drawings

This opportunity would suit a detail-focused engineer who takes pride in high-quality finishing work and enjoys being part of a responsive production environment.
