Fabricator

SKILLED FABRICATOR - ENGINEERED FABRICATION

£45,000+ achievable £16/hr + regular overtime January start

This is a proper fabricator role, not a production welding job.

Our client is 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 with them.

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 They'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 - they 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 is available and paid - not promised and then cancelled.

Why Fabricators Stay:

• 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 Fabricators have been there for years.
