Fabrication Engineer - Weld it. Fix it. Build it. Repeat.

Brackley | Tues-Sat, 6am-3pm | No Paper Tigers

If your idea of a satisfying day involves TIG welding stainless steel instead of sitting in a meeting talking about “synergy,” then read on.

This is a hands-on fabrication role in a fast-moving food factory. You'll be welding, repairing, building, grinding — basically keeping the place together with your head, your hands, and a decent MIG setup.

Some of it's in the workshop. Some of it's on the factory floor. None of it involves staring blankly at a whiteboard pretending “continuous improvement” means buying a new spanner.

The job:

TIG welding stainless steel and repairing anything that's fallen apart or about to

Designing and fabricating bespoke pieces — not just bodge jobs with zip ties

Working with galvanised steel modules that are, apparently, critical to keeping things moving

Taking pride in solid engineering standards and good hygiene practices (it's a food factory, not a scrap yard)

Following schedules, but also using your head when things change — because they will

You'll need to:

Know your way around MIG & TIG like you weren't taught last week

Mark out and fabricate your own work — no one's going to babysit you

Be comfortable using oxy-acetylene gear

Communicate with the team without needing an interpreter

Manage your own time, job list, and workshop standards

Be physically fit enough to climb, lift, weld and graft where needed

Bonus if you've used a forklift, but it's not a deal-breaker

What's in it for you:

31 days holiday

Life insurance and pension

Early starts = early finishes

Proper kit, supportive team, and a manager who knows the difference between “urgent” and “annoying but fine”

If you're a welder-fabricator who actually enjoys the job, and you're not afraid to crack on without constant hand-holding, you'll probably do well here.
