• Experience using hand tools and workshop equipment.

• Good practical and mechanical ability.

• CNC punching or punch press machinery.

• Press brake operating or sheet metal folding.

• Basic MIG or TIG welding.

• CNC plasma cutting.

• Powder coating.

• Grinding, deburring and metal finishing.

• General fabrication and assembly.

You do not need experience in all of these areas. Candidates with some relevant workshop experience who are willing to learn will be considered.

• Monday to Friday

• 7:00am – 3:30pm

• 40 hours per week

• £16.00 – £17.00 per hour, depending on experience

• Annual salary equivalent: £33,280 – £35,360 based on 40 hours per week

• Semi-Skilled Fabrication Operative

• Production / Fabrication Operative

• Press Brake Operator

• CNC Machine Operator

• Engineering Operative

• General Fabrication Assistant

The successful candidate will be someone who has gained practical experience within a manufacturing or fabrication environment and is comfortable carrying out a variety of workshop tasks.

You do not need to be an expert in every process, but you should have some hands-on fabrication experience and a willingness to develop your skills.

If you have previous fabrication or engineering workshop experience and are looking for a new opportunity in Cottenham, Cambridge, we''d love to hear from you.
