Advanced Diesel Engineering is now looking for people to fill a range of roles at the site in Galliford Road – from reception and back office staff to welders, electricians, spray painters, stores persons, sales reps and design engineers.

Apprenticeships are also available and the company, trading as Acoustic Solutions Essex, is encouraging anyone interested to have the confidence to apply as training for some roles can be provided.

The new site will complement the firm's existing sites in West and South Yorkshire and Stafford, with the aim of establishing the company in the south of the UK.
