We manufacture and supply a range of products to customers throughout the North East and across the wider UK.
As part of our continued growth, we are looking to recruit a General Fabricator to join our fabrication team.
For us, finding the right person is more important than finding someone with years of experience. While previous fabrication or manufacturing experience would be beneficial, it is not essential.
We are looking for someone who has a positive attitude, is reliable, willing to learn and takes pride in their work. If you have the right approach, we are happy to provide training and help you develop the skills required for the role.

You will work as part of our fabrication department, helping to manufacture a variety of products including truck roofs, aluminium toolboxes and other fabricated components.
The role is varied and will involve a mixture of fabrication, assembly and operating workshop machinery such as our press brake and guillotine.
You may work independently on certain jobs or alongside other members of the fabrication team.
