Other Information
This job has aspects of manual handling so good physical strength is required. Successful applicants will need to be able and willing to conduct all lab and production duties.
Own transportation is preferrable but not essential.
The nature of our business is to make metal powder so it is therefore not the cleanest of working environments. Our lab is clean, but production processes aren't, so there are facilities available to clean yourself, including showering facilities for both male and female employees.
