Who We Are
‍Part of the Northern Industries Group, Steelway provide agile steelwork and metal solutions for access, security, and every unique project requirement. With almost 100 years behind us we are proud of our robust heritage. As a company we continue to invest in our fabrication facilities, with plant and equipment, robotic welding systems, automatic laser cutting and CAD/CAM.
About the Role‍
Due to continued growth, we are looking to recruit a skilled Site Fitter to join our team.
