Senior Sheet Metal Fabricator

About us

Pure Fabs is an award-winning manufacturer of DW144 & Fire Rated Ductwork, supplying to the M&E Sector across the UK from our modern facility on Bridge Street, Horwich. Our product range covers rectangular ducting, fire rated ductwork and smoke extract systems — all manufactured in-house to the highest standards.

We operate a Continuous Improvement Lean Manufacturing environment where every team member's ideas are respected and actively encouraged. We're proud of our strong apprenticeship programme and the culture of learning and progression that defines us — winners of the Bolton Business Award for Apprenticeships 2023 and Manufacturer of the Year 2018.

Role

We are looking for an accomplished fabricator with extensive hands-on experience and deep trade knowledge to join our skilled team at our Horwich workshop. We want someone who has seen it all, takes real pride in the quality of their work, and is ready to bring that experience and expertise to a forward-thinking, busy workshop.

You will be comfortable reading and working from drawings, operating independently or as part of a team, and happy to share your expertise with our apprentices and semi-skilled colleagues. You will be fabricating ductwork in line with DW144 specification, as well as supporting the manufacture of fire rated ductwork.

What you will be doing

Hands-on fabrication of sheet metal ductwork to drawing and specification
Operating workshop machinery including Coil Line, CNC plasma, lock formers and other standard ductwork equipment
Working independently and as part of a team to meet production schedules
Reading and interpreting engineering drawings and specifications accurately
Setting a positive example for apprentices and semi-skilled colleagues in quality, safety and workmanship
Contributing to our Continuous Improvement culture by raising ideas and flagging issues
Maintaining a clean, tidy and safe working environment at all times
Supporting quality checks on fabricated items prior to dispatch

What we’re looking for

Essential:

An accomplished fabricator with extensive hands-on experience in sheet metal fabrication
Solid ability to read and interpret engineering drawings
Proven experience working to high quality standards and tight tolerances
Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team
Proactive, tidy and self-motivated — someone who takes ownership of their work
Prepared to pass knowledge on to apprentices and less experienced colleagues
A commitment to safe working practices
Prior experience with ductwork manufacturing (Coil Line, CNC plasma, lock formers)
Experience working to DW144 standards

Desirable:

Experience fabricating fire rated ductwork
Experience working in a Lean or Continuous Improvement environment

What we offer

A skilled, varied role in a well-equipped, busy workshop
33 days annual leave including bank holidays
Salary Sacrifice scheme (after qualifying period)
Overtime opportunities when workload dictates
Company events throughout the year including PureFest family day and monthly breakfast meets
An active apprenticeship programme — a business that genuinely invests in people
A supportive team where your skills, opinions and ideas are valued

Working Hours

Monday to Thursday: 7:00am – 4:00pm (with three breaks)
Friday: 7:00am – 1:00pm (with one break)
Total: 37.5 hours per week
