Toolmaker-Machinist

Tool Asset Care Technician

Location: North Walsham
Shift: Flexible part-time days (2430 hours per week)

Experienced Toolmaker, Tool Room Technician or Tooling Engineer looking for more flexibility? This part-time role offers a better work-life balance while keeping you hands-on with tooling maintenance and refurbishment in a stable manufacturing environment.

We're looking for an experienced Tool Asset Care Technician to support the maintenance, repair, and refurbishment of production tooling within a busy manufacturing environment.

It's not a high-pressure production position and it's not an entry-level opportunity. Instead, it's a well-structured role where experience, reliability, and attention to detail are genuinely valued.
