About the workshop

The workshop is clean and well equipped. We have good quality modern machines that are well maintained. The jobs we work on are often complex and require innovative solutions. The work is satisfying and will suit people that take pride in what they do.

A typical day may include:

• One-off work (manufacturing components for the R&D team):
  • Work with and coach design engineers to ensure R&D components are designed for ease of manufacture.
  • Program, prove and make one-off R&D components – and/or help engineers with items they are making.
• Production work (manufacturing components for products we sell):
  • Work with design engineers to review designs from a “design for manufacture” perspective.
  • For new products: Develop internal and external manufacturing processes, and associated instructions and production record systems.
  • Execute existing processes to produce existing parts
  • Complete and maintain production records
• Staff training and upskilling:
  • Provide in-house training of new staff on using equipment in the workshop
  • Guide/support other workshop users with their tasks.

We are expanding rapidly and are in search of good people that can help us manufacture quality components. People that will create and implement effective new processes as our capabilities grow.

Dawn maintains a positive work culture. One in which everyone is encouraged and supported, where mistakes are treated as opportunities to learn, develop and teach others. Staff are given the autonomy to do their job and trusted with it. Work hours are flexible and we have a barbeque lunch weekly to help the wider team stay connected.
