Operating out of a large workshop in Crediton, we serve clients around the area and, after minimal staff turnover, are seeking to replace a retiring team member by recruiting a welder fabricator with experience and problem-solving skills.

The company's main projects include the manufacture and installation of conveying machinery, bin/silo storage, and the erection of steelwork, safety gantries, and platforms.

Each project is bespoke to the client, offering varied work for the applicant. This company values its staff and offers a competitive starting salary with a great bonus structure. Applicants should be able to MIG weld and fabricate to a high standard.

While not essential, the ability to TIG and MMA weld is desirable. You must also be willing to assist with the assembly and erection of projects on-site. Your starting salary will depend on your level of experience.

Some duties include:

1. Undertaking welding and fabrication for the manufacture or repair of machinery, parts, and equipment.
2. Fabricating and assembling steel structures and equipment using welders, cutters, drills, and measuring tools.
3. Welding to a high standard in MIG.
4. Operating and using various hand and power tools.
5. Assembling new machinery.
6. Installing machinery, steelwork, and storage solutions.

Desirable Skills / Experience:

• Previous experience in a heavy engineering/fabrication environment.
• High standards of welding/fabrication experience in MIG, with the ability to read fabrication drawings and follow detailed specifications.
• The ability to work to deadlines.
• Flexibility to work varying hours to meet deadlines.
• Formal welding or fabrication qualifications are an advantage but not essential.
• Full driving license, as the company provides a vehicle for site travel.
