Spray / Plating Technician required for an eyewear manufacturer based in Brentford. The candidate must have significant experience working in a surface plating role. In particular spray painting and water plating. Ideally both but significant experience in one of these will still be considered.
The company is producing high end luxury bespoke eyewear and each frame must be hand sprayed to order. The company is also running a water plating line for 18k gold and Palladium frames. In the near future they plan to open an electroplating line for titanium frames.
This role has limited ability to train the candidates in this area as it is a new part of the manufacturing process which is currently outsourced, so the candidate must have prior experience in either hand spraying or water based plating.
