Senior Buyer (Sheet Metal)
Based in the Lisburn area, my client is a leading sheet metal manufacturing company who are market leaders in their field and who have the lowest turnover of staff that I have come across.

On offer is a salary of £45,000 - £55,000, 33 holidays, pension, life assurance and a 1pm finish every Friday. My client is offering a secure, well paid and exciting job for the rest of your career. It is important to note that they do not work overtime and you will leave for home promptly on a daily basis.
