• Working alongside mechanical engineers and technicians to resolve practical manufacturing and assembly challenges
• Inspecting completed work to ensure dimensional accuracy and quality standards
• Maintaining welding equipment, tools and a safe, organised workshop
• Supporting continuous improvement across fabrication and manufacturing processes
• Following appropriate health, safety and quality procedures

Experience Required:

• Previous TIG welding coding for stainless steel pipework
• Proven experience TIG welding stainless steel pipes and assemblies
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and welding specifications
• Experience preparing, fitting and welding pipework to high-quality standards
• Strong understanding of weld quality, inspection and safe working practices
• Experience in prototype, process equipment or specialist engineering environments advantageous

Benefits:

• Performance bonus scheme
• Company Share Option Scheme
