Assembly Fitter

Assembly Fitter – Luton, Bedfordshire

As an Assembly Fitter, you will turn high-value precision parts into performance-critical pumps, electric motors, and sealed motor-pump units at the Luton plant. Your technical skill, attention to alignment, and meticulous record-keeping will directly decide whether a unit passes the test bed first time and remains bulletproof in the field.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assemble advanced pumps, motors, and sealed units strictly to engineering drawings, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and approved work instructions.
• Achieve exact fit, alignment, clearances, and sealing to ensure all units pass dimensional, hydrostatic pressure, and functional checks without avoidable rework.
• Protect critical finished surfaces and maintain strict cleanliness protocols when preparing builds for assembly and hot testing.
• Spot fit, clearance, and assembly faults early. You will actively raise non-conformances and collaborate directly with engineering to resolve them before testing.
• Meticulously complete torque logs, build records, and component tracking so every unit can be audited seamlessly from parts to dispatch.
• Rebuild, revamp, and upgrade returned aftermarket equipment to the same rigorous standard as a brand-new manufacturer.
• Work safely with workshop lifting gear, calibrated tools, and heavy components, ensuring a clean and organised bay for the next shift.

What We Are Looking For:

• Time-Served Professional: A completed mechanical fitting apprenticeship (or equivalent proven time served on the tools).
• Proven hands-on experience in the mechanical assembly of pumps, electric motors, or similar precision rotating machinery.
• Ability to confidently interpret complex engineering drawings, BOMs, and technical procedures to hit tight stated tolerances.
• Experience completing formal quality records (torque logs, checklists) and a preference for raising non-conformances over working around errors.
• Proficient with workshop manual handling, strict lifting controls, and proper PPE utilisation.
