About this vacancy

Kustom BBQ Pods was born from a passion for design and a desire to bring our ideas to your outdoor living space. Keeping you involved at every stage, we ensure your vision is kept at the heart of every project from first sketches to final product. We’re proud to specialise in industrial polished concrete, microcement and liquid metals creating bespoke kitchen BBQ pods and outdoor living furniture. There is an exciting opportunity for 2 Manufacturing Operative Apprentices to join the Kustom Pods team at their site in Adlington.

• Most of the skills required will be taught to you, but somebody who is good with their hands and is not afraid to use power tools would help, and although we don’t generally use wood, most of the work we do is akin to joinery so those skill will be an advantage.
• We also use alot of heavy materials so good physical strength would be an advantage, but you will not be expected to lift anything beyond capacity and you will also be trained in correct manual handling techniques.
• You may not always be with the same lead engineer so good personal skills and an ability to work well with others would be an advantage.
• As we are only a small team each indivual in the team is a vital part to what we do, we would like any new employee to be able to mix well and not be afraid to speak out, we also welcome new ideas from each member of the team and we are also willing to learn and welcome any input from the team.

Duties/main responsibilties include:

The role will include but not limited to the building of garden pods. The pods come to us as an already built frame, from there you will assist a lead engineer in firstly fixing steel studwork to the frame followed by versa panels, this gives us a blank canvas to kit out the pod as per a customers request, once ready you will then assist in putting in splashbacks, kitchen furniture, Laminate flooring and a whole range of other materials. For every part of the install, the panels and steelwork will have to be measured and cut to the correct size using a varied range of tools, the lead engineer teach you how to do all of this and over time you will pick up the necessary skills to do this yourself. Each team of 2 will have there own portable workstation to carry their tools from pod to pod, you will be expected to keep this and any area you work in clean and tidy to make for a better and safer working enviroment.
