We are looking for an experienced Production Manufacturing operative to take a key role, working for a sub contract Fabrication and sheet metal work company.
Duties will involve
Routing Machine Operation: Setting up and operating a CNC router to cut, shape, or profile sheet panels (metal, composite, or plastics) to precise dimensions.
Panel Preparation: Cleaning, deburring, and positioning the panels after routing to prepare them for reinforcement.
Stud Welding: Using a specialized stud welder to fast-fuse threaded studs, pins, or fasteners onto the metal panels without causing burn-through or marking on the reverse side.
Stiffener Fitting:
Aligning and securing structural stiffeners (like metal ribs, channels, or bars) over the studs to reinforce the panels and prevent them from flexing or warping under load.
Key Skills Required
Technical Blueprint Reading: Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings to know exactly where to route the panels and place the stiffeners.

Competency:
Experience with industrial machinery, particularly routing tools and stud-welding equipment (such as capacitor discharge or drawn arc stud welders).
Quality Control: Using measuring tools (callipers, micrometres, tape measures) to ensure panels meet exact dimensional tolerances and pass quality checks.
Safety Adherence: Strict adherence to Workshop safety protocols, including wearing PPE (welding mask, gloves, safety glasses) and managing machine guards.
