If you’ve worked with CNCs, brake presses, or other heavy-duty machines — and you like seeing raw steel turn into something real — this could be your next move.
At Had Fab, we build the steelwork that keeps the UK powered. We’re looking for a Machine Operator to join our night-shift team, running CNC and fabrication equipment to produce high-quality components for major infrastructure projects.
What You’ll Do
• Operate CNC and related fabrication machinery to cut, drill, and shape steel
• Interpret drawings and work to tight tolerances
• Carry out basic programming or adjust machine settings as needed
• Use overhead cranes, hand tools, and measuring equipment safely and effectively
• Inspect finished work and complete quality checks
• Keep your area clean, organised, and production-ready
• Work closely with your team to keep workflow on target
What We’re Looking For
• Proven CNC or heavy-machine operating experience (steel, fabrication, or similar)
• Strong understanding of machine setup, tooling, and tolerances
• Able to read engineering drawings and follow work instructions
• Safety-minded, reliable, and detail-focused
• Programming knowledge (advantage but not essential)
• Willingness to work night shift and occasional overtime
