Job Purpose
To fabricate high-quality, high-finish sheet metal components for lifts, architectural frameworks, and building construction elements. Working from our Thamesmead workshop, you will ensure precision engineering and structural integrity while meeting strict production schedules.
Key Responsibilities
- Component Fabrication: Manufacture lift car panels, doors, architrave fascias, ceilings, sill assemblies, jambs, and bespoke structural cladding.
- Blueprint Interpretation: Read and precisely follow architectural layouts, structural designs, and engineering CAD drawings.
- Material Preparation: Mark out, cut, punch, and fold thin-gauge metals including architectural stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminium (typically 0.5mm to 3mm).
- Machine Operation: Safely set up and operate workshop machinery including CNC brake presses, guillotines, and laser cutters.
- Aesthetic Finishing: Grind, blend, polish, and grain brushed or mirror-finish stainless steel to satisfy strict architectural presentation requirements.
- Quality Assurance: Inspect all components with micrometres and calipers to ensure tight tolerances match British Standards and lift clearance specifications.
Requirements and Qualifications
- Experience: Minimum 2–3 years of experience as a sheet metal fabricator, ideally dealing with architectural metals or lift/elevator parts.
- Skills: Excellent mechanical aptitude, reading engineering drawings, and safe operation of workshop power tools.
- Site Credentials: A valid CSCS Card is preferred in case site visits, surveys, or minor assistance with lift shaft installation are required but not essential.
Work Environment & Benefits
- Stable, static role based entirely within a fully equipped fabrication workshop environment.
- Predictable, daytime working pattern with no scheduled night shifts.
- Opportunities for overtime depending on commercial lift project deadlines.
