About Us

Our aim is to be the best at what we do, and part of that is to provide employees with a superb place to work. Wherever you are in the world, all our companies share a single philosophy: to have the best people in the best workplaces creating the best products in our field.

Cutting edge – Norbar’s state-of-the-art factory facilities ensure we provide the very latest design, manufacturing and quality control technology to achieve the highest level of innovation and precision in the field of torque control equipment.

Family values – Descendants of the founder, Bill Brodey, still participate in the business and the company remains every bit as passionate about providing customers with the highest quality products and services as Bill was when manufacturing that first torque wrench.

Our Larger Family – Norbar is a member of the Snap-on Incorporated family of companies and is proud to be part of a company which has beliefs, values and a vision closely aligned with those that Norbar was founded on.

Life here

At Norbar we specialise in the manufacture and worldwide distribution of torque tools for torque tightening, measurement and calibration.

We develop our employees to create flexibility, variety and promote engagement.

We offer a range of freshly made, subsidised, hot and cold food in our bright and modern restaurant.

All employees are offered a complementary meal on their first day and we also provide a free 2 course Christmas lunch each year.

Supporting our employees is very important to us.  We have recently trained a number of mental health first aiders throughout the business who can listen, support and signpost you as needed.

Our new 'wellbeing area' is a great addition to this.

How do I apply?

Just click on the link above

How quickly will I hear back if I do apply?

Most jobs will have a closing date, but please apply as soon as you can. If we receive a good response to our advert we may choose candidates before the closing dateJust click on the link above

Will I hear back, even if I wasn’t successful?

We appreciate that applying for a new role can be a daunting process. It’s therefore important to us that you are advised promptly of the outcome of your application. We will let you know via email if your application is unsuccessful. If your application is successful we will contact you either by phone or email to arrange a suitable interview time.

What will my interview be like?

For the majority of vacancies, the first interviews usually last no longer than 45 minutes. You will be interviewed by at least two panel members which would include an HR representative and the Appointing Manager.

Do you hold 2nd interviews?

Usually yes, although for some fixed term contracts there may only be one interview in which case this is likely to include time in the factory or in the team for which you are applying. Our 2nd interviews often last 3-4 hours, giving you time to meet key stakeholders, team members and may involve appropriate testing. It is key you know as much as possible about the role and life at Norbar.

What should I bring with me?

In accordance with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, you must provide evidence that you have the right to work in the United Kingdom. We usually check this on your second interview, but if we are checking sooner than this (usually in the case of a fixed term contract) we will advise you of this in your confirmation of interview email.

When will I know the outcome?

We will advise you on interview when you will hear the outcome of your interviews. It will depend on how many candidates we are seeing and how many roles there are. We do, however, like to move as fast as we can and there may be some occasions when we tell you on the same day.

Can I apply speculatively?

If you are interested in working for us, but we don’t have the role you are looking for currently please email your CV to recruit@norbar.com
