SKILLED FABRICATOR – ENGINEERED FABRICATION
£45,000+ achievable | £16/hr + regular overtime | January start
This is a proper fabricator role, not a production welding job.
We’re 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 here.
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 We’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 – we 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 here is available and paid – not promised and then cancelled.
Why Fabricators Stay With Us:
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 of our Fabricators have been with us for years.
