"Centrax is in talks with companies about stabilising these fluctuations.
"Nobody will know the outcome of these discussions, but once this is sorted out they might have to recruit again in the new year."
A spokesman for the turbine engine manufacturing firm would not be drawn and insisted: "It's business as usual."
Centrax, based at Milber, was established in 1946 and employs around 700 people across its European sites.
