Engineering Opportunity: Engineering Operative

Engineering Operative Current Vacancies

2006-12-25:

Engineering operatives work throughout the engineering sector.
The type of work they carry out will depend upon the branch of engineering they work in, for example, manufacturing engineering, mechanical fitting or electrical maintenance.
Some examples of the duties undertaken by engineering operatives include:
Fabrication and assembly work - building up components and sub-assemblies into finished electrical or mechanical products such as vehicles or domestic appliances; marking out, cutting and drilling products with power tools or CNC machine tools; making connections and joints using welding techniques, such as oxyacetylene, MIG and TIG.
Finishing - applying processes such as heat treatments to harden or temper products or parts; cleaning parts by immersion in chemical solutions; and applying surface coatings using chemical treatments or spray painting techniques.
Operatives may also be involved in basic quality checks as part of their work.
Engineering operatives normally work a basic 40-hour week.
Most engineering and manufacturing sites are clean, tidy and well lit, especially in electronics.
For most operations, operatives wear protective overalls. Some jobs may need goggles, ear defenders, face masks or extra protective clothing. Experienced operatives can earn between 13,000 and 17,000. (Permalink)
