On-site parking
Varied bespoke fabrication work

The opportunity to develop your fabrication and welding experience across different types of work
About the Opportunity
Our client provides an end-to-end metal fabrication service, working on everything from individual components to larger fabricated assemblies. The workshop covers a broad range of fabrication processes, so this is particularly well suited to someone who enjoys making things, solving practical fabrication challenges and producing a finished job to a high standard.
Quality is important here. Finished work is measured, inspected and checked against drawings and customer specifications rather than simply being pushed through production.
What You'll Be Doing:
Working accurately from engineering drawings and specifications.
Cutting, preparing, shaping and assembling sheet and section material.
Carrying out MIG welding across different jobs and material thicknesses.
TIG welding where required.
Checking preparation, fit-up and alignment before welding.
Operating fabrication equipment and normal workshop machinery.
Grinding, linishing, polishing and deburring completed work.
Measuring completed components against specified dimensions and tolerances.
Correcting fabrication or weld defects where necessary.
Taking responsibility for jobs from preparation through to completed product.
Maintaining appropriate job and material records.
Working in accordance with established quality and safety procedures.
What You'll Need:
Previous practical welding and fabrication experience.
Strong MIG welding capability.
Experience reading engineering drawings.
Experience fabricating sheet and/or section material.
Competence using standard fabrication tools and workshop equipment.
Experience measuring and checking completed fabricated work.
NVQ, City and Guilds or an equivalent welding / fabrication qualification would be useful, although equivalent practical experience will also be considered.
TIG welding experience would be an advantage.
If you enjoy skilled, practical engineering work and want the chance to take real ownership of what you produce, our client would like to hear from you.
Applications are completed through a short online recruitment process, which takes around 20 minutes from start to finish. As part of the process, you will answer a few questions about your experience and complete a couple of short questionnaires designed to help both you and our client assess whether the role is likely to be a strong mutual fit
