Tong Engineering is a well-established, fourth-generation engineering business with a long-standing reputation as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-quality vegetable and waste handling equipment. Operating from state-of-the-art, purpose-built manufacturing facilities on the edge of Spilsby, Lincolnshire, Tong Engineering manufactures advanced solutions for the UK and worldwide vegetable and waste handling industries. The company is driven by an innate vision for growth and innovation, with a commitment to nurturing a skilled workforce being at the heart of the company’s success.
Due to retirement, a position has arisen for a Fabricator/Welder in our busy Fabrication Department.
The ideal candidate will be someone who has experience in reading and interpreting engineering drawings to manufacture steel products; has a keen eye for detail to ensure that the product meets the required quality standards and specifications; can work to the requirements of the ISO 9001 quality management system; and who is a self-starter with the ability to prioritise, plan and manage the workload with minimal supervision.
A recognized Fabrication/Welding qualification would be preferable but is not essential. A forklift licence and experience using lifting equipment would also be advantageous, but full training will be provided to the right candidate.
