What do the roles look like?
As we ramp up at Collins Actuation Systems to meet the demand of our customers, we’re looking to recruit several skilled shop floor roles for Grinders, Fitter/Testers, Final Viewers & Machinists.
You’ll be based at Wolverhampton working in either our OE or Aftermarket divisions.

You may be a Fitter Tester assembling complex electromechanical components that will keep an entire flight safely on track. You might receive a part back from an airline or the RAF which needs attention, so you will need to problem solve to get this part back into full working order. Or you may be a Final Viewer that will be looking at parts to ensure they meet the exacting quality standards and tolerances required within Aerospace manufacturing.
Whichever of these, or other, skilled roles you choose, you will be working on a shift basis (normally either double days or permanent nights depending on business needs and your preference) here at Stafford Road, Wolverhampton.
