Detail Finisher – Precision / Aerospace Manufacturing

Fareham, Hampshire
Polish, Deburr and Perfect Aerospace Components
Salary: £28,217 - £14.28 per hour based on 38 hours a week. REALISTIC OVERTIME?

Do you enjoy hands-on precision work, polishing, deburring and bringing machined parts to perfection? We’re recruiting for a long-established aerospace manufacturer near Fareham offering permanent, stable employment with excellent prospects for development.

Tell me more!

As a Detail Finisher, you’ll work on precision-engineered components produced to the highest aerospace standards (AS9100). Using a variety of tools such as micro-motors, polishing wheels, grinders and needle files, you’ll deburr, finish and inspect parts to tight tolerances (to ±0.05mm) and fine surface finishes (to 0.8µm).

You’ll visually inspect batches under magnification, carry out minor cosmetic repairs, and ensure each component meets drawing and customer requirements. You’ll also play a part in maintaining documentation, packaging finished parts correctly, and contributing to a clean, safe, and efficient workshop environment.

What do I need?

We’re looking for someone with experience in finishing, deburring, polishing or working on machined components — ideally within manufacturing, precision engineering, or aerospace.

However, if you’ve worked with plastics or composites and are keen to develop your skills on metals, training can be provided.

You’ll have a good eye for detail, steady hands, and a genuine pride in producing high-quality work.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing, well-invested manufacturer offering training, stability, and a clear route for progression.

If you’d like to discuss this role confidentially, please contact Neil Williams at Kingdom People Group on (phone number removed), or click “Apply Now” to send your CV. We’ll review and respond promptly.

Materials Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK materials science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise characterisation with clear conclusions, scale‑up to pilot/production, standards compliance (ASTM/ISO/IATF/AS9100), sustainability/ESG, data literacy & measurable product or yield improvements. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for battery/materials engineers, polymer/composites specialists, metallurgists, ceramics/glass scientists, surface/thin‑film engineers, failure analysts, process/quality engineers & materials informatics roles. Who this is for: Materials scientists & engineers (metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, semiconductors, thin films, coatings), process/scale‑up & manufacturing engineers, CMC in materials for life sciences, QA/QC, failure analysis, test & characterisation, sustainability/LCAs, and materials informatics/data roles in the UK.

Why Materials Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Materials science has always been an interdisciplinary field, sitting at the crossroads of physics, chemistry & engineering. But in the UK today, as the demand for sustainable technologies, advanced composites & biomedical innovations grows, materials science careers are becoming even more multidisciplinary. Employers are now looking beyond technical expertise. Success in modern materials roles increasingly requires awareness of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. These five areas shape how new materials are researched, applied, communicated and trusted in society. This article explores why materials science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with scientific practice, and what job-seekers & employers should do to adapt.
