Some hands-on experience (maybe from a workshop, garage, or even personal projects with cars/bikes)
A valid, in date, national counterbalance licence with certification
Ability to read technical drawings or a willingness to learn quickly
Physically fit and comfortable with manual, practical work
A positive, can-do attitude and strong attention to detail
Keen to build a long-term career in fabrication with training and development provided
Own transport (due to location and early starts)
Why apply?
Clear progression path to a skilled Fabricator role
Ongoing training and development opportunities
Supportive, close-knit team environment
