Workshop Technician – Multi‑Skilled Fabrication & Production

Weatherweave Ltd – Rayleigh, Essex

Full-Time | Monday–Friday | 8:00am–5:00pm

£14/hr starting rate (depending on ability) + performance reviews

Weatherweave Ltd manufactures bespoke PVC structures, race awnings, trailer covers and custom fabrication projects. We are a small, skilled workshop where everyone works hard, supports each other, and takes pride in producing high‑quality, made‑to‑order products.

We are looking for a reliable, practical person who enjoys hands-on work, learning new skills, and contributing to a tight-knit team.

About the Role

This is a physical, workshop-based fabrication role. You will work across PVC fabrication, metalwork, woodworking and general workshop tasks.

Daily responsibilities include:

Measuring, cutting and preparing materials
PVC welding (hot air and high frequency)
Operating industrial sewing machines (twin and single needle)
Metal cutting, drilling, grinding and basic fabrication
Wood cutting and sanding
Using hand tools and workshop machinery
Working at floor level (kneeling, crawling, lifting)
Keeping the workshop organised and stocked
Following job sheets and customer specifications

This Job Is Physical – Please Read Before Applying

The role involves:

Being on your feet most of the day
Kneeling, crawling, lifting and floor-level work
Getting your hands dirty from materials and tools
Using tools, machinery and heat-based equipment
Ending the day physically tired
Working in a busy, practical workshop environment

If you prefer clean, light or desk-based work, this role will not suit you.

Skills You Will Learn (Full Training Provided)

PVC Fabrication & Welding

Twin‑needle and single‑needle sewing machines
Hot‑air welding machines
High‑frequency welding machines
Cutting, measuring and material preparation
Patterning and assembly

Metal Fabrication

Metal chop saws
Drills and drilling jigs
Angle grinders (cutting and sanding)
Bending machine operation
Sanding and finishing equipment
GEKA punching machine
MIG and TIG welding - training is not guaranteed and is provided based on performance, attitude and long‑term commitment to the role.

Woodworking & General Fabrication

Wood chop saw
Hand saws
Sanding machines
Basic assembly

Workshop Tools & Measurement

Tape measures
Vernier calipers
Spanners, screwdrivers and general hand tools
PPE use and safe workshop practice
You must be willing to learn and use both metric and imperial measurements, including fractions and decimals. Accuracy and conversions are essential.

Production & Planning

Reading job sheets
Basic drawings and calculations
Job preparation and workflow
Stock control
Practical problem-solving

What We’re Looking For

We hire for attitude first.

You must be:

Practical and hands-on
Comfortable with physical work
Accurate with measuring and numbers
Reliable, punctual and consistent
Able to follow instructions accurately
Calm, organised and able to switch tasks
Someone who takes pride in doing a job properly
Keen to learn and develop new skills

Work Ethic & Timekeeping

To maintain a smooth and professional workshop:

You must be ready to start work at 8:00am.
Staff are expected to arrive around 7:45am to put bags away, make a drink, use the facilities and prepare for the day.
Breaks must be taken responsibly and in line with the team’s workflow.
Work finishes at 5:00pm — pack up afterwards, not before.
Mobile phones must be stored away during working hours for safety and focus.
Company uniform (t‑shirts, jumpers and hoodies) is provided and should be worn during working hours.
A clean, tidy workspace is required at the end of each day.
Instructions must be followed accurately the first time.
Accuracy and consistency are essential, we work to exact tolerances, “within a few millimetres” is not acceptable.
This is a multi‑discipline role, you must be willing to work across all workshop areas, not just metal fabrication.
Reliability and communication are vital in a small team.

Experience That Helps (But Isn’t Essential)

Workshop or manufacturing
Metal fabrication or engineering
PVC fabrication or welding
Power tools and machinery
Construction or engineering

Why Join Weatherweave?

A varied working day with different projects
Full training and ongoing development
Opportunities to learn multiple fabrication disciplines
A small, supportive team of fewer than five people
Performance reviews as your skills develop
The satisfaction of creating bespoke products from start to finish
