Yolk Recruitment is partnered with one of the UK's largest specialist UK manufacturers who are continuing to grow and have created a new opportunity for a Toolroom Engineer to join their team. This is a great opportunity for someone with a background in manual machining or toolmaking, while experience of CNC machining is advantageous it can be developed here.

This is a future proof business that dominates its field, known for producing high quality products and consistently investing to maintain its competitive lead.
