The Role
Some people see a flat sheet of metal. You see potential. You know how to bend it, weld it, shape it — and turn it into bedway covers, telescopic covers, and machine guards that actually do their job.
If you like making things solid, precise, and built to last, we should probably talk.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Turning sheet metal into guards and covers that keep machines (and people) safe.
* Reading drawings that would make most people squint — and actually understanding them.
* Cutting, bending, rolling, and welding steel like it’s second nature.
* Switching between stainless, mild, and aluminium without blinking.
* Checking your own work, because “close enough” doesn’t cut it here.
* Keeping health & safety as sharp as your welds.
What You’ll Need
* Real, hands-on experience with bedway covers and machine guards (this isn’t something you can blag).
* Strong fabrication skills — cutting, forming, welding, assembling.
* An eye for detail that borders on obsessive.
* Ability to work from technical drawings without needing a translator.
* A bit of independence — you’ll be trusted to just get on with it.
What You Might Not Like
* It’s hands-on, noisy, and at times a bit gritty — definitely not a “shoes stay clean” kind of job.
* Every project’s different, which means thinking on your feet.
* If your natural style is “that’ll do”, you’ll hate it here.
What To Do Next
If you’ve got the skills and the attitude, don’t overthink it — just hit apply. Or drop us your CV and let’s have a conversation.
Worst case? You’ll know for sure.
Best case? You’ll be fabricating kit that actually matters.
