Plate and Bar Saw Operator

Position: Plate and Bar Saw Operator (Permanent)
PLATE & BAR SAW OPERATOR - BIRMINGHAM
Full-Time | On-Site | Manufacturing

Let's not over complicate this.

If you've run Friggi plate saws and Kasto bar saws, you already know what good looks like.
If you haven't - this isn't your role.

We're looking for a skilled operator who understands precision, respects tolerances, and doesn't need babysitting.

THE ROLE

You'll be responsible for processing and cutting specialty metals to exact specifications using:

Friggi Plate Saws (essential)

Kasto Bar Saws (essential)

Daily work includes:

Operating and setting saw machinery accurately

Reading and interpreting job sheets and specifications

Monitoring machine performance

Carrying out routine maintenance checks

Performing quality inspections using measuring equipment

Using hand tools safely and effectively

Working to production targets without compromising quality

Following strict health & safety procedures

This is hands-on. It's production-driven. It requires attention to detail.

WHAT YOU MUST HAVE

Non-negotiable:

Proven experience operating Friggi plate saws

Proven experience operating Kasto bar saws

Strong understanding of quality control standards

Confidence using measuring equipment (verniers, micrometers, gauges)

Solid awareness of workshop health & safety

If you can't set, run and monitor these machines independently - this won't be the right fit.

NICE TO HAVE

Previous experience within a metals or manufacturing environment

Technical training or relevant certification

Forklift licence (desirable, not essential)

THE PERSON

You:

Take pride in accurate cuts and clean finishes

Understand that tolerances matter

Work efficiently without cutting corners

Communicate clearly with supervisors and colleagues

Respect safety procedures - every shift, every time

No drama. No shortcuts. Just professional operators doing quality work.

LOCATION

On-site in Birmingham.
This is not a remote role.
