Job Description - Tool Unit Fitter Reports To: Tool Unit Section Supervisor Key Responsibilities and duties: * To work as part of the highly skilled tool unit assembly team. * To fit, assemble, and test tools and tool units and all associated parts and assemblies. * To ensure that all parts and assemblies are correctly fitted and assembled together in accordance with the agreed tolerances and procedures. * To build new tool unit assemblies and repair and refurbish existing tool units. * To carry out testing of the tool units in accordance with agreed procedures. * To assist with the building or repair of complete press assemblies when required. * Carry out routine maintenance and unplanned service work as and when required including out-of-hours breakdowns. * Work in accordance with Company procedures and specific guidelines and terms of reference at all times. * Carry out your duties at all times in compliance with all applicable Laws and with Customer's plant regulations and with due regard for the Health and Safety of others. * Carry out such other tasks as may from time to time be requested, provided they are within the competence of the job holder. Primary work is mechanical assembly of tool units that produce foil caps at rates of up to 700 per minute. The units are incorporated in our range of bespoke capping and sealing equipment which are sold worldwide and used mainly in the food industry. The role consists of building new units and refurbishment of used units to as new condition. The fitter performing this task builds and tests the complete unit from start to finish. Typically, a unit will take around one week to complete, although this does vary depending on the type. All components for the units are pre-manufactured prior to the start of the build. On units being refurbished a certain amount of rework of existing parts may be required. Although a high standard of mechanical assembly / fitting skills are required, part of the build requires machining skills including surface grinding, turning and milling all to close tolerances. Part of the build involves the "honing" of two of the major components, firstly via a honing machine and then by hand to achieve a specific fit. The hand honing does involve a certain degree of physical effort. The employee is not put under pressure to complete this operation in a certain time, it being more important to get the correct fit between parts. This operation is only required once for each build. Whilst the majority of the build is assembly all of the employees in this role at present have a tool making background, although this is not essential it gives some idea of the level of finesse required to perform the role effectively. At various key stages of the build the unit is inspected by the supervisor of the section to check critical settings and operation, these checks are defined in a checklist for each unit and if satisfactory signed by the supervisor. A typical tool unit build comprises of the following main activities: * Honing. * Surface grinding. * Drilling. * Milling. * Fitting. * Assembly. * Setting of punches and dies. * Building and setting of forming assembly. * Building and setting of ejection systems (mechanical and air). * Achieving critical dimensions via machining. * Functional testing at operational speeds. * Fault finding and rectification. Benefits * £Competitive salary with performance related / discretionary Bonus. * 37 hour working week (Monday to Thursday 7.45am - 4.15pm, Friday 7.45am - 12.45pm). * Overtime available and will be paid at the agreed hourly rates. * 25 days holiday + bank holidays. * Company Life insurance x6 times salary. * Pension 5.0
