We’re recruiting – Product Assembler/Packer at Power Gems HQ

We’re on the look-out for a Product Assembler/Packer to join the ever-expanding team at our busy headquarters in Irlam, outside Manchester.

Our UK headquarters are home to a team of fully qualified engineers and skilled assemblers who construct and test Power Gems products on site. The right candidate will help make and dispatch our range of electronic ballasts – for sale and rental worldwide.

Caught in the act - of assembling the new 18kW ballast - at our headquarters, Manchester

We set ourselves the highest standards, as the power behind the source for TV and film lighting, solar simulation, high speed photography and event lighting.  For this role attention to detail is essential, previous experience in an assembly role in a manufacturing environment desirable, with the ability to work under own initiative as well as part of a team, preferable.

Having said that, the most important thing is to have the right attitude and enthusiasm – we can, and will, provide the training to fill any gap in experience, and once employed we provide support for further education and training – read about Ben Webb, ballast assembler, studying at Trafford College

“Business is really healthy right now” says Phil, “with a backdrop of an increasingly vibrant UK Film and TV sector. The total spending by big US studios increased by £300m from 2013 and is now almost triple what it was in 2008, with tax incentives helping to attract production here. We’re certainly seeing the effect, with new opportunities such as this one created to handle the demand for orders.”

Spread the word, we’re growing. No agencies. Applications by 31st March to jobs@powergems.com
