Estate Agent

Estate Agent (Property Guru) Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest chapters in someone’s life. This role isn’t about pushy sales tactics — it’s about listening, noticing the small details, and guiding people through the process with honesty, empathy, and a steady hand. The Role (opening doors) You’ll be helping people through the highs (and the occasional stresses) of moving home. It’s part property, part people, and entirely about doing right by both. What You’ll Be Doing (the bricks and mortar) Welcoming clients and really listening to what they need. Organising and hosting property viewings that feel welcoming, not rushed. Building trusted relationships with buyers, sellers, and landlords. Keeping the admin in order — listings, paperwork, and the little details that keep things moving. Negotiating deals fairly, respectfully, and with everyone’s best interests in mind. Noticing the details others might miss, because they matter more than most think. What You’ll Need (the “bring your own” bit) Previous estate agency experience is great, but the real essentials are people skills. Clear, warm communication — whether in person, over the phone, or in writing. Organised, reliable, and comfortable spinning a few plates at once. An eye for detail that goes beyond the obvious. Some knowledge of property processes and systems (or a quick learner’s mindset). A genuine wish to help people find not just a house, but a home. What You Might Not Like (let’s be upfront) The hours aren’t always a neat 9–5. Some days will be more paperwork than property tours. Emotions can run high — moving home is a big deal. If you’d rather stay in the background, this probably isn’t your role. What To Do Next (your move) If this feels like the kind of work you’d be proud to do, send over your CV and a short note about why you’d be a good fit. It’s not about being perfect on paper. It’s about caring enough to do the small things well — because they make the biggest difference.

Production Operative – Cambridgeshire – From £25k pa – Permanent What’s the Job? We’re looking for a hands-on, detail-focused Production Operative to help manufacture high-quality lightweight structural products. You’ll be part of the team that turns raw materials into strong, durable, and surprisingly light components used in a wide range of industries. Some days you’ll be working with specialist machinery, other days you’ll be assembling products or helping with general workshop tasks. If you enjoy practical work, learning new skills, and take pride in doing a job properly, this could be a great fit. What You’ll Be Doing Using layering techniques to build lightweight structural panels from a variety of materials. Operating and maintaining workshop machinery such as presses, ovens, routers, and saws (training provided). Assisting with the production of other custom-built products when needed. Loading and unloading goods, plus general workshop or yard work. Assembling more complex structures from drawings or manuals alongside other team members. Completing paperwork and following quality checks. Helping with other tasks that keep the workshop running smoothly. What You’ll Need Previous experience of composites is a must! Experience using hand and power tools. Good manual handling skills (some lifting involved). The ability to focus on repetitive tasks while maintaining high standards. Basic mechanical knowledge and problem-solving ability. Teamworking skills and the ability to get on with people. Good communication skills and the ability to follow instructions and safety policies. An eye for detail to make sure work is accurate and consistent. Nice-to-Have (But Not Essential) Experience reading engineering drawings. Knowledge of layered structural construction or bonding techniques. Forklift licence (or willingness to train). A Few Realities of the Job Some lifting will be involved — always done safely, sometimes with a teammate. It’s practical, hands-on work, often on your feet. Safety and accuracy are a big part of the role. How to Apply Send us your CV and a quick note about your experience with practical, hands-on work — whether that’s in a workshop, on-site, or even as part of a personal project. We’re looking for people who care about quality, work well in a team, and are keen to learn.

Project Engineer

Project Engineer Cambridgeshire Monday to Friday – 40 hours a week £45k pa What This Job’s Really About We’re looking for a Senior Project Engineer who can turn “we’ve got an idea” into “here’s a product ready to go.” You’ll be making sure designs don’t just look good on paper but work beautifully in real life — leading projects, solving problems, and keeping everyone in sync. If you enjoy digging into the details, asking “what if we…?” a lot, and making sure things are done right the first time (because fixing mistakes later is never fun), you’ll fit in just fine here Here’s What You’ll Actually Do Take new product ideas from first sketch to production handover. Work with suppliers, customers, and your own team — you’ll be the glue that keeps everyone connected. Create manufacturing drawings and documents that people can actually follow. Lock down technical specs, share them clearly, and make sure they’re met. Be the go-to person for technical advice when sales, customers, or production hit a question. Keep an eye on new tech and processes so we’re never stuck doing things the slow way. Pull together reports and presentations that make sense to the people reading them. Keep us in line with the right standards and regulations. Help keep the place safe, tidy, and efficient (yes, 5S matters here). Mentor or train colleagues when needed. What You’ll Need In Your Toolkit An engineering degree (or solid experience that shows you really know your stuff). Experience designing products and untangling tricky engineering problems. A solid understanding of manufacturing techniques for mechanical components. CAD skills — ideally SolidWorks — and confidence with BS 8888 drawing standards. The ability to read and produce clear engineering drawings. Organisation skills that help you keep multiple projects moving without losing track. A team-first mindset — you can chat with a machinist, a customer, or a director and still make sense to all of them. An eye for detail — because small mistakes cost big later If We’re Being Honest… You’ll be talking to people a lot. If you want total silence all day, this isn’t it. Some deadlines are tight — we can’t sugarcoat that. We care about documentation and clarity. “I’ll remember it” isn’t a plan. Projects can change halfway through. If you need everything set in stone, you might find that tricky. How To Put Your Name In The Hat If you’re nodding along thinking, “Yep, that’s me,” send us your CV and tell us about a project you’re proud of — one where you made a real difference. Doesn’t need to be dressed up, just tell it straight.

Project Engineer - Junior

Your Next Big Break You’ve got the degree, a bit of real-world experience under your belt, and the hunger to make your mark. Now you’re looking for a role where you can put your skills to work on projects that matter — and keep learning while you do it. This is that role. You’ll be involved in projects from the spark of an idea through to final delivery, working with experienced engineers, suppliers, and customers to make sure everything comes together smoothly. Some days will be about design, some about problem-solving, and others about talking through solutions with people from all corners of the business. No two days will look the same. What You’ll Actually Be Doing (Not Just in Theory) Supporting and leading parts of engineering projects — planning, tracking, and keeping them on target. Producing clear technical documents, reports, and presentations. Helping to design and develop products with manufacturing in mind. Analysing data, spotting trends, and using them to guide improvements. Coordinating with suppliers, customers, and colleagues to keep projects moving. Learning to navigate relevant standards and regulations. Getting involved in testing, troubleshooting, and refining designs. What You Bring to the Party A degree in engineering or a related discipline. 1–2 years’ work experience (placement year, internship, or junior role) in a relevant setting. Basic CAD skills (SolidWorks is a bonus). An understanding of manufacturing processes and how things get made. Clear communication skills — you can explain technical stuff without overcomplicating it. Problem-solving ability — mixing logical thinking with creativity. An eye for detail and the organisation to keep multiple tasks on track. Why This Role Could Be Your Career Launchpad You’ll get variety — design, project coordination, hands-on problem solving, and customer interaction. You’ll learn from experienced engineers while taking on real responsibility. You’ll work on products that go from your ideas to real-world use. There’s room to grow — this isn’t a stopgap role; it’s a launchpad. Ready to take the leap? Send us your CV and a short note about a project you’ve been part of — it could be from work, university, or a personal build. Tell us what you did, how you approached it, and what you learned along the way.

Credit Controller - German and English Speaking

Credit Controller (German Speaking) Full-time | Permanent | Hybrid – Cambridgeshire Let’s be honest—no one grows up dreaming of chasing unpaid invoices in German.

Some… less so But if you like a bit of structure, a lot of autonomy, and the satisfaction of seeing your ledger squeaky clean—this is a solid gig.

Buyer

Buyer Wanted — part negotiator, part spreadsheet whisperer, part chaos controller. Let’s be real: this isn’t a role for someone who just clicks “Add to Basket.” We’re looking for a sharp, proactive Buyer who knows their way around lean manufacturing, understands the difference between “cheap” and “cost-effective,” and can keep supply chains flowing without breaking a sweat (or the budget). If you’ve got an eye for detail, a sixth sense for supplier delays, and can hold your own in a lead-time showdown — keep reading. What you'll actually be doing (not just what it says on the job title): Sourcing components, materials, and services in a way that makes operational sense — not just financial. Managing supplier relationships with just the right balance of charm and backbone. Raising and chasing purchase orders like your inbox depends on it (because it does). Making sure the right stuff shows up, at the right time, for the right price — no drama. Digging into data, spotting patterns, and making smart buying decisions based on facts, not feelings. Working closely with production, planning, and engineering to keep things lean, smooth, and cost-efficient. Identifying supply risks before they become your 4pm problem. Supporting continuous improvement projects because yes, there’s always a better way. What we’re looking for: Previous experience in a manufacturing or engineering environment — ideally one that talks the lean language. Solid understanding of supply chain principles, demand planning, and cost control. Excellent negotiation skills — you don’t fold when a supplier says “lead time’s gone up.” ERP system knowledge (if you’ve battled with MRP before, you’ll fit right in). Great communicator, eagle-eyed on detail, and not afraid to push back when it counts. Someone who understands urgency — and when it’s real vs. when it’s just panic. What you might not love: This isn’t a hands-off, paper-pushing role. It’s active, fast-paced, and occasionally full of surprises. Suppliers won’t always play ball — you’ll need a thick skin and a cool head. We work lean — so if you like lots of layers and sign-offs, this might feel a bit exposed. It’s not glamourous. You won’t be flying off to source luxury goods. You will be chasing someone in Bolton about washers. What you will get: A permanent, full-time role in a team that values autonomy, speed, and smart decisions. Proper input into how things are done — not just following someone else’s process. Loads of variety. Some days it’s negotiations, some days it’s solving supply chain puzzles. The satisfaction of knowing your work directly keeps production moving. A culture that gets lean, respects process, and wants you to challenge the status quo — constructively, of course. If you like spinning plates but prefer them organised by SKU, and you’re ready to get stuck into a role that’s equal parts people, process, and pressure — we’d love to hear from you. No frills. No fluff. Just smart, efficient buying with impact. If this is of interest, please APPLY now and lets connect for a chat!

Design Engineer

Design Engineer Wanted: A curious mind with a solid CAD hand and a knack for problem-solving. Let’s cut to it. We’re after a Design Engineer — someone who knows their way around CAD (SolidWorks is our weapon of choice), can turn an idea into something manufacturable without crying into a spreadsheet, and isn’t afraid to ask why five times in a row until they get to the actual root of the problem. If you like your work varied (and we mean varied — from 2D leisure kit to 3D industrial prototypes), enjoy having eyes on a project from sketch to sign-off, and get a bit of a thrill when a design actually works the way it’s supposed to, this might just be your thing. What you’ll actually be doing (besides fighting with the printer): Designing engineering solutions that are clever, workable, and manufacturable. Thinking beyond the pretty picture — how it’ll be made, what materials are best, what might break. Getting stuck into the entire product development cycle — design, test, break it, fix it, try again. Poking holes in your own work before someone else does (hello, root cause analysis). Making technical documents that don’t put people to sleep (but still tick all the boxes). Contributing ideas, data, and learnings to the knowledge library — yes, we actually have one. Sometimes working solo, sometimes in a team — always thinking for yourself. Skills we’re keen on: SolidWorks whizz? Great. Bonus points if you’ve dabbled with MATLAB or Simulink. You know what GD&T means — and why it matters. You can interpret technical drawings without pulling a face. You’re the kind of person who reads about materials for fun (okay, maybe not fun… but you get the point). Logical thinker, good communicator, naturally curious. Root cause analysis? You’re already mentally building a fishbone diagram. What you might not love: We’re not shiny start-up types — there’s no beanbags or Friday cocktails. The work is real and hands-on — if you're after constant creative freedom and blue-sky thinking, this might feel a bit too grounded. There are processes, structure, and the odd bit of red tape (because safety, regulations, and the rest of it matter). You will be challenged — not everything works first time, and you’ll need to be okay with that. Sometimes it's quiet, heads-down work. Other times it’s all-hands-on-deck chaos. If you need constant calm, this might not be your vibe. Why bother applying? Because you’ll actually get to own your work. From napkin sketch to testing and refinement. No mindless box-ticking. No "just make it pretty" design briefs. You’ll get to make a real dent in real projects, with real support. So, if you want to do meaningful design work, not just move shapes around on a screen — we’d love to hear from you. Apply now for an informal chat!

Sheet Metal Worker

Experienced Sheet Metal Worker / Plater (Yes, That’s You, Metal Maestro) Location: Peterborough Type: Full-Time | Permanent Pay: Competitive (a.k.a. decent) + Solid Perks So, What’s the Gig? If you’ve got a knack for bending metal to your will (literally), and you can read engineering drawings like other people read novels, keep reading. We're on the hunt for a seasoned Sheet Metal Worker / Plater to join a cracking team where traditional craftsmanship still means something. You’ll be working with both your hands and machines—rolling, folding, cutting, hammering—bringing flat sheet metal to life in the form of beautiful, bespoke components. This is no conveyor-belt, rinse-and-repeat type of job. It's about quality over quantity. One-off and small-batch is the name of the game, and the craftsmanship? Impeccable. What You’ll Be Doing (aka The Nitty-Gritty) Manhandling metal with classic tools and proper machinery Reading technical drawings without a hint of a headache Making one-of-a-kind parts and assembling them like the boss you are Measuring twice, cutting once (we like things that fit) Taking pride in the finish—smooth edges, tight fits, and a satisfied sigh Occasionally chatting with clients (don’t worry, no small talk about the weather unless you want to) Who You (Probably) Are You’ve been around the metal block—this isn’t your first roller Handy with both manual tools and proper workshop kit You speak fluent “Engineering Drawing” You’ve worked with mild steel, stainless, aluminium—and have the calluses to prove it Detail-oriented (yes, we know everyone says that, but we mean it) You solve problems like a pro, not a panicker You’re reliable, skilled, and low-key brilliant What’s In It for You? A workshop that actually respects craftsmanship Projects that are genuinely interesting (no two days the same) Decent pay, depending on experience All the tools you need (no need to bring your own dodgy hammer) A company that’s stable, well-established, and not going anywhere anytime soon Why You May Not Like It Let’s be honest—it’s not for everyone. If you’re more about speed than precision, you’ll struggle. If you need constant supervision or hate working independently… awkward. If you see a technical drawing and get hives, this will not be a fun time. And if you’re looking for mass production or factory-floor monotony—sorry, wrong gig. But if you’re a sheet metal craftsperson who gets a kick out of making something solid, beautiful, and bespoke—this? This could be your sweet spot. Final Word If shaping, folding, cutting, and creating from raw metal is your thing—and you want to do it somewhere that actually gives a damn about quality—apply now. You know you want to.

Support Engineer - Electrical Engineering

Engineering Support Engineer – Like Fixing Things and Flying Places? This One’s for You Based in Bourne, Lincolnshire area Travel Required: Often, and sometimes at short notice Salary £45k pa What’s the Gig? This isn’t your average support role. We’re looking for someone who enjoys getting to the root of a technical problem, whether it’s via phone, remote login, or while standing on-site somewhere far from home. As an Engineering Support Engineer, you'll be the steady hand when things go sideways — and the helpful voice when things go right. Expect plenty of variety, global adventures, and the satisfaction of solving real problems for real people. Please note – this is not an IT support role!! What You’ll Actually Be Doing (No Fluff) Supporting customers by phone, email, remote connection, or on-site — whatever it takes Diagnosing and repairing complex electrical and mechanical systems down to component level Troubleshooting issues with these systems Reading wiring diagrams or ladder logic Uploading/downloading PLC code Diagnosing sensor, actuator, or signal failures Explaining what went wrong in terms your client can actually understand Travelling worldwide for commissioning, testing, training, and maintenance Writing reports, risk assessments, and documentation that actually make sense Logging service activity and resolutions in the system from start to finish Collaborating with technical and commercial teams to improve products and identify future opportunities What We’re Looking For Level 3 or equivalent in Electrical Engineering Proven experience in a service engineering role, including fieldwork Strong understanding of PLC, SCADA, DCS, HMI etc Comfortable using MS Office and service management software Clear communicator — written and verbal Full UK Driving Licence and valid passport (you’ll need both!) What You’re Probably Like (If This Role Fits) Calm under pressure, even when the problem is complex and the deadline is tight Practical, adaptable, and unfazed by changing schedules or short-notice travel Someone who can work independently but still plays well with others Organised enough to document everything without needing to be asked twice You like things done properly, but you’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves to figure it out along the way What You May Not Like (Honesty Hour) Travel isn’t just a perk — it’s a big part of the job. Sometimes it’s planned, sometimes it’s last minute, and occasionally it involves weekends. If you prefer a 9-to-5 with zero surprises, this might not be your thing. This is hands-on technical work. If you're not keen on diagnosing faults in the field or getting your hands dirty, this role probably won’t excite you. There’s admin. Logging jobs, writing reports, documenting risk assessments — it's essential, not optional. You’ll be the face of the service team, often working solo in high-pressure environments. If you need constant team backup, this could feel isolating. Sometimes things don’t go to plan. Flights get delayed. Equipment doesn't behave. Flexibility and resilience are part of the deal. Why This Role? Work on cutting-edge technical systems that actually make an impact Travel, troubleshoot, and see the direct results of your work Join a team that values integrity, quality, and good humour Every day is different — and never dull Ready to Go? If this sounds like the kind of challenge that motivates you (warts and all), we’d love to hear from you. Bring your experience, your tools, and your passport. We’ll bring the opportunities. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CAN ANSWER YES TO THE FOLLOWING: Do you hold a Level 3 in Electrical Engineering? Are you able to travel globally ? Do you have experience in systems such as SCADA PLC etc?
