The Role

As a Welder, you will be involved in:

• Strong TIG welding and fabrication skills
• Experience repairing or modifying existing equipment, machinery or structures
• Good practical problem-solving skills
• The ability to work independently and as part of a maintenance team
• Experience within manufacturing, engineering, production or another industrial environment would be advantageous

This would suit a TIG Welder who enjoys a varied maintenance environment and is looking for a long-term contract rather than short-term fabrication projects.
