We are currently recruiting for a Welder to join a busy manufacturing facility in Bedford on an ongoing contract.

The Role

As a Welder, you will be involved in:

• Carrying out TIG welding and some fabrication repairs around the manufacturing site

• Good practical problem-solving skills
• The ability to work independently and as part of a maintenance team
