Careers at Bradley Manufacturing
At Bradley Manufacturing, we believe great engineering starts with great people.
For over three generations, our success has been driven by the skill, pride and dedication of our team — many of whom have spent decades growing their careers with us.
Whether you’re a time-served engineer, an apprentice just starting out, or a specialist looking for a new challenge, Bradley offers an environment where your work truly matters — and where your contribution is recognised.
Why work with us?
A Proud British Manufacturer
We’ve been making things properly since the post-war years — combining traditional craft with cutting-edge technology.
Our 127,000 sq. ft. site in Chadderton brings together everything from CNC laser cutting and metal fabrication to springmaking, welding, powder coating and decorative finishing — all under one roof.
That means variety, collaboration and the opportunity to see a project from concept to completion.
People First
We’re a family business, and that sense of belonging runs through everything we do.
We invest in training, development and upskilling to help our people reach their full potential — whether on the shop floor, in engineering design, or in business support.
You’ll work alongside colleagues who value quality, teamwork and doing the job right.
Pride in What We Make
Every part we produce — whether a precision spring for aerospace, a lighting assembly for a retail space, or a decorative metal finish — represents our name and our standards.
When you work at Bradley, you’re not just building components; you’re building trust and craftsmanship that lasts.
Stability and Growth
We’ve been growing steadily for more than 70 years.
As demand for British-made quality continues to rise, we’re expanding our capabilities, investing in new technology and creating opportunities for people who want to be part of something lasting.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re always keen to hear from talented people across areas such as:
- CNC laser and punch operators
- Welders and fabricators
- Press brake and panel bending specialists
- Powder coating and finishing technicians
- Assembly and maintenance engineers
