Are you practical, hands-on, and love working with tools? Do you enjoy tinkering with cars or bikes and want to turn that passion into a career? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a busy fabrication workshop where no two days are the same.

Assisting with the fabrication processes and learning to use a wide range of tools and machinery
Reading and working from basic technical drawings
Measuring materials accurately and carrying out quality checks
Supporting with spray-painting, fettling, and other workshop tasks
Keeping the workshop tidy and safe at all times
Working to productivity and quality standards alongside experienced fabricators
Operating an FLT Counterbalance truck – a valid national licence and proven experience are essential

What we’re looking for:

Some hands-on experience (maybe from a workshop, garage, or even personal projects with cars/bikes)
A valid, in date, national counterbalance licence with certification
Ability to read technical drawings or a willingness to learn quickly
Physically fit and comfortable with manual, practical work
A positive, can-do attitude and strong attention to detail
Keen to build a long-term career in fabrication with training and development provided
Own transport (due to location and early starts)

Why apply?

Clear progression path to a skilled Fabricator role
Ongoing training and development opportunities
Supportive, close-knit team environment
Secure, well-established business with great reputation
Immediate interviews available – this role is urgent!
