Our client is a small, well-established fabrication business based in Nottingham NG14, producing made-to-order work across a range of contracts, including bespoke one-off fabrications, drum stands, and a high volume of work supporting Severn Trent Water (e.g., handrails and on-site work).

Pay & Hours: £16.00-£17.00 per hour (DOE) | Monday-Friday 08:00-17:00, 30 minutes unpaid lunch + 15 minutes paid break. Overtime is paid at time and a third.
