I am working with my client who is an internationally recognised leader within the food processing industry, operating across more than 100 countries worldwide. Due to continued growth, they are seeking experienced Fabricator/Welders to join their team, on a permanent basis.

This is a hands-on position involving a wide range of fabrication work including general sheet metalwork, light fabrications, and pipework-primarily in steel and stainless steel.

  • Use hand and air tools (e.g. grinders) competently

  • Maintain a clean and organised work area

  • Support the Production Team with additional tasks as required

  • Adapt to bespoke projects, including working from sketches or improvising solutions where necessary

Skills & Experience Required

  • Proven ability to read and interpret engineering and fabrication drawings

  • Strong MIG and TIG welding skills (essential)

  • Experience working with stainless steel

  • Minimum 1 year's experience in sheet metal and fabrication

  • Time-served or equivalent practical experience

  • Strong communication skills and a proactive, problem-solving approach

  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively

Assessment
All successful candidates will be required to complete a weld test prior to starting. This will be arranged either on the day of interview or at a mutually convenient time.

  • 38 hours per week (Monday-Thursday only)

  • Overtime available when required

  • 26.5 days paid annual leave (pro rata)
