We're recruiting for a TIG/MIG Welder to join a well-established manufacturing company in Redditch. This role offers strong hourly pay plus a shift allowance, and full training on robotic welding equipment for the right candidate — no prior robotic experience needed.

You'll be working on forging dies and tooling, using a mix of TIG, MIG, and ARC welding alongside a robotic welding arm, restoring and repairing components to a high standard. If you have solid TIG and MIG welding experience from a manufacturing or engineering background, we'd love to hear from you — whether or not you've used robotic welding equipment before.

Key Responsibilities

• Setting up and operating a robotic welding arm
• Applying multiple layers of weld to various forging dies
• Removing slag and debris from welded surfaces
• Preparing and cleaning surfaces between weld layers
• Completing the welding process until the impression within the block is fully restored
• Repairing different types of tooling
• Performing TIG, MIG, and ARC welding where required
• Inspecting completed work to ensure it meets quality standards
• Maintaining safe and accurate work practices within a manufacturing environment

Person Specification

We welcome applications from candidates who:

• Have previous welding experience within a manufacturing or engineering environment
• Possess TIG welding experience - essential
• Possess MIG welding experience - essential
• Have ARC welding experience (advantageous)
• Have experience operating robotic welding equipment (beneficial but not essential)
• Understand welding processes and preparation thoroughly
• Are eager to learn robotic welding techniques
• Candidates with more basic welding experience will also be considered if they demonstrate the right aptitude and willingness to develop.

Pay & Hours

Starting rate: £17.50 per hour during the 3-month probation period

Post-probation: £18.00 per hour

Plus a weekly shift allowance of £50.06

The role operates on weekly alternating shifts:

• Week 1: 6:00am-2:00pm
• Week 2: 2:00pm-12:00am

Applicants must be able to work both shifts on a rotating basis.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced welder looking to build skills in robotic welding, or for candidates already experienced in automated welding seeking a long-term role.
