Sheet metal manufacturer Alpha Manufacturing is creating 30 new jobs as it continues to grow.
The company, which is based in Hixon near Stafford, is hosting an open day later this month to fill the roles which range from MIG and TIG welders and production team leaders to CNC machine and press brake operatives and quality inspectors.
The recruitment drive comes as the company sees a surge in demand for º£½ÇÊÓƵ sheet metal manufacturing, which has already resulted in the opening of two new divisions – Alpha Integrated Technologies and Alpha Manufacturing Chemical Technologies.
In June, Alpha Manufacturing broke ground on a new £4 million 35,000 sq ft site at Beacon Park in Stafford which, once complete, will be home to the chemical technologies business.

Now the company is holding a recruitment open day on Wednesday, August 18 in an attempt to fill the current vacancies.
Managing director Paul Clews, said: "This is an exciting time to be part of Alpha. As we respond to the recent demand for our services, business is booming and we are pleased to be able to offer a number of positions within our production facility.
"With the opening of our Chemical Technologies division planned for mid-2022, we hope to be able to offer even more quality jobs going forward with our ambitious, yet achievable growth plans, which we hope will be a big boost to the local economy and for local people."
Part of the Bri-Stor Group, Alpha Manufacturing occupies a 35-acre site which it shares with sister companies Bri-Stor Systems, Atlas Coatings and Hex Signs and Graphics.
Alpha Manufacturing has been specialising in sheet metal fabrication since 1989 and boasts a wide range of customers from sectors including construction, white goods and healthcare.
The company's ambitious five-year growth plan includes an £8 million investment in production and capability and the creation of up to 100 new jobs.
This includes the opening of Alpha Integrated Solutions, at the Hixon Airfield Estate, earlier this year.
Group HR manager, Karen Barnacle, added: "I am very excited about the opportunity to recruit for such a large group of new talent to enhance our 500-plus workforce across the Bri-Stor Group.
"The group is renowned for our apprenticeship programme, employee development opportunities, as well as our people retention, with a number of our employees having been with the group for over 15 years.
"This recruitment drive really does represent a great opportunity to kickstart your career."
The recruitment open day will give prospective employees the chance to take a tour around the factory and view the state-of-the-art machinery for themselves.
There will be three time slots throughout the day – 10am, 12pm and 2pm – and interested parties will be given the opportunity to participate in an on-the-day interview for the role they are interested in, or hand in their CV.
It will take place at Alpha Manufacturing in Hixon. Visit the Alpha Manufacturing website for more information.
