About you
Find out more about this role by reading the information below, then apply to be considered.
You’re an experienced fabricator who knows their way around MIG welding and is comfortable working from technical drawings.
You don’t need to come from signage. If you’ve spent your time in sheet metal, engineering, manufacturing or a similar fabrication environment, that’s absolutely fine.
What matters is that you can look at a drawing, understand what needs making and get on with producing it properly.
Your experience
MIG welding is the big one here. Ideally, you’ll have around four years’ experience across MIG welding and fabrication, with aluminium experience particularly useful.
You’ll be confident measuring, cutting, folding and bending sheet metal, as well as welding, riveting and bolting finished components together.
Being able to read technical drawings is important. If you’ve used press brakes, guillotines, bandsaws and general fabrication tools along the way, even better.
If you happen to have signage experience as well, brilliant, but it’s definitely not essential.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be joining an established metal fabrication team, producing bespoke fabricated products from technical drawings.
There’s a proper mix of work rather than standing doing the same weld all day. You’ll be cutting and forming sheet metal, MIG welding, assembling components and taking jobs from a drawing through to a finished product.
The workshop has CNC press brakes, a 4m guillotine, MIG and TIG welding equipment, a bandsaw and the usual powered hand tools, so there’s plenty to get stuck into.
About the business
This is an established manufacturing business based in Ashford with a large in-house production facility.
They produce bespoke products from aluminium, stainless steel and other materials, with fabrication sitting right at the heart of what they do. Their current setup allows them to work with sheets up to four metres, alongside CNC routing, waterjet cutting and powder coating capabilities.
It could suit someone from a traditional fabrication background who fancies getting into something a little different, while still using the welding and metalworking skills they already have.
