Are you interested in a career in manufacturing? Do you want to work as part of a close-knit team where you will strive to deliver world-class quality?
Our Wind Turbine Blade Manufacturing Facility in Hull is advertising for Production Operatives to work within our Finishing Department. Our Finishing Team is where you'll play a key role in finishing wind turbine blades before they're painted and shipped off to the sea. Our manufacturing process is completely done by hand, which means attention to detail and precision is crucial. If you've used power tools before, this is the perfect role for you! As part of our team, you'll utilise your expertise to finish blades using fiberglass, carbon materials, and resins to ensure they're durable for the demands and power of the wind.
This is one of the more physically demanding roles suited to those who are resilient and possess endurance. Long periods will be spent in full PPE including paper suits and air-fed masks.
Please note these roles will be to start from January 2025.
Areas of Responsibility:
Adherence to all health and safety requirements for yourself and those around you.
Good organizational skills and the ability to use the correct materials, tools, and equipment.
Plan and lay out work, following strict engineering specifications and quality standards.
Carry out grinding, sanding, and filling of the blade as exactly specified in initial training and ongoing training.
Use of fiberglass sheets and epoxy resin to carry out wet lay-up lamination.
Check and monitor work constantly ensuring very high levels of attention to detail.
This role is often physically demanding, including the requirement to work in fully protective suits with breathing apparatus (RPE).
You must be able to follow instructions exactly as you are directed and not implement process improvements without following the correct procedure.
Knowledge & Skills:
This role would be ideal for those who have had previous experience in sanding, grinding, filling, or plastering; however, it's essential.
Some knowledge and understanding of welding/fabrication/engineering, and the ability to follow detailed work instructions would be fantastic.
If you are from the shipbuilding/aircraft/automotive/caravan or any other composite surface preparations within manufacturing, this may just be the role for you as well!
You will be able to demonstrate your resilience and endurance.
We pride ourselves on health and safety and we want you to show us you are equally committed to this.
You will have exceptional levels of attention to detail, and the ability to follow all processes exactly.
A desire to continuously improve.
Ability to work a shift pattern that includes working days, nights, and weekends.
In return for your commitment, we offer you:
The opportunity to become a part of our mission for sustainability: Clean energy for generations to come.
A global team of diverse colleagues who share a passion for renewable energy.
Trust and empowerment to make your own ideas a reality.
Personal and professional development to grow internally within our organisation.
