Manufacturing & ProductionProduction Operator

We are leaders in complex metal fabrication and our business is growing. We work within a broad range of customer types and make a wide variety of products.

Our colleagues tell us this is why they love working at Universal Wolf, no two days are the same, the work is interesting and different.

We are a pack where passion, persistence and people matter. Where talent, trust and teams thrive. Because for us it’s more than work. It’s who we are.

The key to the success of our team is that colleagues share common values. For us it's not just a job, its who we are. We live the company values of a “Better” “Smarter” “Pack”

We want people to join our team who really want to be part of our continued growth, we are therefore recruiting for an Expeditor to join our team.

Our sites are in an easily accessible location just off Cowpen Road in Blyth, Northumberland.
