We are recruiting for an experienced Sheet Metal Fabricator to join a well-established manufacturing business.
Although the role sits within R&D, previous R&D experience is not essential. The key requirement is strong hands-on sheet metal fabrication experience, combined with the ability to work from engineering drawings and manufacture components from scratch.
Duties- Manufacture sheet metal tooling, jigs, fixtures and prototype components
- Work from engineering and mechanical drawings
- Cut, bend and form sheet metal
- Operate press brake and guillotine machinery
- Carry out MIG and TIG welding only when needed
- Drill, grind and finish fabricated components
- Modify and improve existing tooling
- Build components and tools from scratch
- Support testing and proving of new tooling
- Identify practical engineering issues and problem-solve
We are keen to speak to candidates with backgrounds such as:
- Sheet Metal Worker
- Sheet Metal Fabricator
- Tooling Technician
- Prototype Fabricator
- Tank and Vehicle Fabricator
- Skilled Fabricator
You should have strong sheet metal skills, be confident reading engineering drawings and have experience with bending, forming, press brake work and welding.
Previous tooling or rotational moulding experience is not essential, as training can be provided.
The ideal candidate will be practical, proactive and confident working independently on bespoke fabrication projects.
Interviews are available immediately.
