Job Description

Welder / Fabricator | Nelson | £35k

Want to weld something with a bit more purpose than railings and brackets?

This is hands-on fabrication for engineers who enjoy building proper kit from scratch – not production line monotony. If you can MIG and TIG to a decent standard and want a long-term role where your work actually matters, this could be worth a look.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

  • MIG and TIG welding of stainless and aluminium components

  • Working from engineering drawings to fabricate assemblies

  • Using hand tools and machinery to cut, shape and prep

  • Final assembly and inspection before shipment

  • Working with the team to get projects out the door safely and on time

What’s in it for you:

  • £16.00/hr to start, rising to £17.30/hr after 3-month probation

  • 39 hours/week with overtime available

  • Tools and PPE provided, along with proper training if you want to upskill

  • Clean workshop, varied projects, and solid team environment

You’ll need:

  • MIG and TIG welding experience (ideally on stainless and aluminium)

  • The ability to read and work from engineering drawings

  • A relevant welding qualification (NVQ, City & Guilds, apprenticeship, etc.)

  • A full UK driving licence

Experience with CNC equipment, food-grade fabrication or site work is a plus, but not essential.

About the Company:

Sugden Ltd is a specialist manufacturer based in Nelson, Lancashire. Their equipment is used in food production sites around the world and is built in-house by a skilled team of engineers and fabricators. They’re growing steadily, and looking for people who take pride in doing things right.

Interested?

No need for a glossy four-page CV. Just a short overview of your qualifications, work history and a few key achievements will do the trick.

So you're aware, your application will be reviewed directly by the hiring manager.
