Previous experience within a structural steelwork, fabrication or similar manufacturing environment would be highly advantageous.

We may also consider those who have been involved in pipe welding, fitting, brazing and other duties where similar skills are applied.

Rate of pay: £14.00 per hour, increasing to £14.50 after a short qualifying period of around 6 weeks.

You will then progress to a £15 hourly probation rate after 12 weeks, you would then be able to climb the skills matrix where you can obtain £17 per hour and beyond.

Hours of work: 07:00-17:00 Monday to Friday, with regular Saturday shifts
