Welder Fabricator

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.

• 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

• £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

• 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.
