Summary
SKILLED FABRICATOR - ENGINEERED FABRICATION
£45,000+ achievable | £16/hr + regular overtime | January start
This is a proper fabricator role, not a production welding job.
Our client is a long-established, family-run engineering business manufacturing engineered stillages and material-handling equipment for regulated industries (defence, nuclear, aerospace, heavy manufacturing).
The work is precise, engineered fabrication - not repetitive welding and not site work.
If you can fabricate from drawings, work accurately in medium-section steel, and take pride in getting things right first time, you'll fit in with them.
The Work:
- Fabricating engineered steel frames and assemblies
- Working from fabrication drawings (essential)
- MIG welding, fit-up, tack, fabricate, finish
- Typical material thickness around 5mm (with variation depending on design)
- Bespoke and short-run work - not production line welding
What They're Looking For:
- A genuine fabricator, not just someone running welds
- Confident reading and working from drawings
- Experience in fabrication where accuracy matters
- Able to work at pace and take responsibility for your own bay
- Pride in fit-up, alignment, and finish - they don't cut corners
If you're looking for slow, repetitive work or need constant supervision, this won't suit you.
Pay & Hours:
- £16 per hour basic (£33,280 per year)
- Regular overtime available - typically 10 hours per week
- Overtime paid properly
- Realistic earnings: ~£880 per week / £45,000+ per year
Overtime is available and paid - not promised and then cancelled.
Why Fabricators Stay:
- Family-run business - treated as a person, not a number
- Steady, long-term workload
- Organised shop with clear drawings and processes
- Engineered work you can be proud of
- Overtime for those who want it
- Straight-talking management - no nonsense
Many Fabricators have been there for years.
