WHAT our team say
Joseph
Engineering Supervisor
4 years
“PhotoFab gave me the opportunity to attend college once a week for a year, gaining 3 qualifications and allowing my progression to an engineering supervisor.
I enjoy working in the engineering department of Photofab because every day is different. New and sometimes challenging jobs which really bring out the creative side. Photofab is also a very safe environment with friendly colleagues. The Photofab healthcare plan also is very helpful when it comes to dental and eye tests.”
Justin
Production Support

“To support my role as a single dad of two, Photofab offered me flexible working hours supporting the production team.
They have trained me in all of the photo-mechanical processes so I can help support any area in production.
The team and the Supervisor Marta have been very welcoming and I’m now part of the WhatsApp group chat.”
Marta
Photomech Supervisor
4 years
“Working at Photofab is a challenging and rewarding experience where employees are encouraged to explore and fulfil their skills to the fullest. There are lots of opportunities to learn and develop.
The mentoring I have received from the management team has provided an in-depth knowledge of the product, systems and processes which has enabled me to develop my career through experience gained on the job.
There is a friendly family atmosphere throughout the business whilst maintaining a professional demeanour, as a woman in manufacturing it can sometimes be difficult to progress, but Photofab is a diverse company and has supported my growth as a supervisor.”
