Robot Welding Machine Operator

Leicester Day or Night Shift £12.21 - £14.21/hr Permanent Full‑Time

Looking for hands‑on factory work in a clean, organised engineering environment? We're recruiting for two Robot Welding Machine Operator roles at a busy Leicester‑based manufacturing company supplying heavy‑duty fabricated parts across construction, rail, agriculture, and energy sectors.

You'll be trained to operate pre‑programmed robotic welding machines – no coding or programming experience needed. If you've worked in production, machine operating, welding or fabrication support before, this could be a great long‑term opportunity.

What's on Offer

• Position 1 – Day Shift: £12.21 per hour, Monday to Thursday, 07:00‑17:15 (4‑day week).
• Position 2 – Night Shift: £12.21 per hour + £2.00/night shift allowance, Monday to Thursday, 18:00‑06:00 (4‑night week).

Both Roles: Full‑time, permanent contracts; 4 shifts per week (no Fridays, no weekends); overtime available (paid at enhanced rates); based in Leicester (commutable from Wigston, Blaby, Hinckley, Lutterworth).

Duties

• Operate robotic welding machines to produce welded assemblies.
• Load jigs, fixtures and components into the robot welder.
• Inspect finished parts for accuracy and quality.
• Follow safety procedures and report any machine issues.
• Support general fabrication and production where required.
• No welding experience needed – full training will be provided.

Ideal Background

• Experience as a machine operator, fabrication labourer, production operative, or similar role in a factory/engineering setting.
• Confident using tools, equipment and handling metal parts.
• Keen eye for detail and a strong work ethic.
• Comfortable working independently once trained.
• Willing to commit to a consistent 4‑day/week shift pattern.

Why Apply?

• Long‑term job stability with full training provided.
• 4‑day weeks – get your Fridays back.
• Opportunity to develop skills in modern automated welding technology.
• Clean, organised workshop with a supportive team.
• Competitive hourly rate with night allowance for late shift.
