Positions at Reliable We are always looking for talent
If we meet talent, we will hire you whether or not we have a vacancy. We value talented people who complement our culture, and we don’t care about your caste, colour, creed or paper credentials.
Jobs at Reliable Pressings
We currently have positions open, and we are looking for the right kind of people to join our business. We take great satisfaction in giving people employment, and we know that many people have lost their jobs and are struggling. Even so, please read all the information on this page, especially the duty sheets, because we have a rigorous performance management process.
We also have opportunities we have not published, so if you don’t see anything here but think you’re a fit, what’s the harm in giving us a call?
Our position is simple. Anyone who does not perform their duties, and becomes a burden to the business, puts everyone else’s livelihood at risk and holds back our growth plans. We cannot tolerate this, and we don’t. We know the law and will follow the fair dismissal process during probation if we have to remove someone. Our employment contract includes a probation period; read more about it on the Employee Rights page.
We take no pleasure in performance management. When it remediates, that’s great, but too often it ends with a poor performer leaving, and we find that very distressing. Help us avoid that conflict.
So you need the technical ability (or, for more junior roles, the potential to acquire it), but more importantly you need to fit our culture and entrepreneurial spirit. We call this the Skill and Will Balance. We would much rather work with someone technically weaker who has a great attitude and energy, and whom we can trust, than with someone technically brilliant who is a poor fit in behaviour and sense of entitlement.

Available Positions
Permanent positions
Contract positions
We would prefer to convert contract positions to permanent ones in the longer term, but we understand that many people want the freedom to work independently and to have other sources of income. If you are unsure about permanent vs contract positions, see the explanation on our Employee Rights page.
One Last Suggestion
We always ask candidates, for contract or permanent positions, to go through our website properly. If you have, here is one of the benefits (there are others). In your first interview we will ask you what you think the attributes and qualities are of the people we want to employ. Here they are:
- We love people with Curiosity, who are interested in the world.
- We need you to understand Risk, and how to manage it.
- We surround ourselves with people who have Energy and a positive outlook on life.
- We need our staff to be Adaptable in a changing and unpredictable world.
- We look for people who want Meaning in their lives.
Be ready to tell us why we look for these things. And do you recognise the acronym?
