Why choose JJS Manufacturing

At JJS we don’t just build great products, we build great careers too.

If you’re curious, passionate, innovative and adventurous, you could make an impact here at JJS.

Our goal is to empower our people to carve to their own careers and achieve their true potential. As proponents of graduate schemes and internal development, it is our mission to create an environment where employees can flourish creatively and professionally in whatever their passion may be.

Culture

With over 400 employees across 4 sites around Europe, our focus continues to be on creating a personal and friendly environment. The majority of staff know each other on a personal basis and we feel strongly that we can offer opportunities to those who want them without becoming impersonal - and here’s why:

• No private offices so managers and directors are visible and available at any time 
• Listening days where staff are actively encouraged to tell us what they think about JJS as an employer 
• Daily weekly and monthly updates about the business

With a demonstrable track record of growth, we believe in hiring the right people and training them to do a job well.

Our offices are modern open-plan and well equipped with the latest IT and office technology. Staff may also get the opportunity to travel occasionally between all of our sites, if required.
