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.
