Role & Responsibilities

What We’re Looking For

- 2+ years of welding experience on thin gauge aluminium

- Confident using AC/DC TIG and MIG welding on light metals

- Able to work independently or as part of a team

- Good understanding of quality control and production workflow

- Fabrication skills a bonus, but not essential

- Previous welding codings or qualifications beneficial
