Summary

We need a grit blaster for immediate start. The role is full-time, Monday to Thursday 8am to 5pm and Friday 8am to 4pm. Overtime is optional but regularly available, by way of early starts or weekend work, which is at an increased rate.

Omnikote Limited is a powder coating company based in Aylesbury, established for over 40 years. We require a highly motivated individual with a good work ethic to work in the physically demanding role as our Grit Blasting Room Operator, preparing all kinds of metalwork ready for their paint and coating process.

The successful applicant will be required to work alone in a confined, enclosed space. Previous experience is preferred, however, being able to learn from verbal instruction is essential. On the job training will be provided.

The operator will control an over-the-shoulder blast hose, using PPE and an air-fed helmet. It involves continuous physical, manual work and requires great physical strength and stamina. Sweepblasting of galvanising and the application of zinc metal will also be involved. You will be responsible for controlling the quality of your own work.

Loading and unloading of metalwork will be required, by way of heavy lifting and use of a fork-lift truck. It is necessary to have a good attention to detail and work in a fast-paced environment, in order to meet production requirements. Maintenance and upkeep of the equipment will also be required to be learnt and undertaken.
