We're recruiting for a TIG/MIG Welder to join a well-established manufacturing company in Redditch. This role offers strong hourly pay plus a shift allowance, and full training on robotic welding equipment for the right candidate — no prior robotic experience needed.
You'll be working on forging dies and tooling, using a mix of TIG, MIG, and ARC welding alongside a robotic welding arm, restoring and repairing components to a high standard. If you have solid TIG and MIG welding experience from a manufacturing or engineering background, we'd love to hear from you — whether or not you've used robotic welding equipment before.
Key Responsibilities
Setting up and operating a robotic welding arm
Applying multiple layers of weld to various forging dies
Removing slag and debris from welded surfaces
Preparing and cleaning surfaces between weld layers
Completing the welding process until the impression within the block is fully restored
Repairing different types of tooling
Performing TIG, MIG, and ARC welding where required
Inspecting completed work to ensure it meets quality standards
Maintaining safe and accurate work practices within a manufacturing environment

Possess TIG welding experience – essential
Possess MIG welding experience – essential
Have ARC welding experience (advantageous)
Have experience operating robotic welding equipment (beneficial but not essential)
Understand welding processes and preparation thoroughly
Are eager to learn robotic welding techniques
Candidates with more basic welding experience will also be considered if they demonstrate the right aptitude and willingness to develop.
Pay & Hours
Starting rate: £17.50 per hour during the 3-month probation period
