Fabrication Engineer

Fabrication Engineer – Weld it. Fix it. Build it. Repeat.

Brackley | Tues–Sat, 6am–3pm | No Paper Tigers

If your idea of a satisfying day involves TIG welding stainless steel instead of sitting in a meeting talking about “synergy,” then read on.

This is a hands-on fabrication role in a fast-moving food factory. You’ll be welding, repairing, building, grinding — basically keeping the place together with your head, your hands, and a decent MIG setup.

Some of it’s in the workshop. Some of it’s on the factory floor. None of it involves staring blankly at a whiteboard pretending “continuous improvement” means buying a new spanner.

• TIG welding stainless steel and repairing anything that’s fallen apart or about to

• Designing and fabricating bespoke pieces — not just bodge jobs with zip ties

• Working with galvanised steel modules that are, apparently, critical to keeping things moving

• Taking pride in solid engineering standards and good hygiene practices (it’s a food factory, not a scrap yard)

• Following schedules, but also using your head when things change — because they will

• Know your way around MIG & TIG like you weren’t taught last week

• Mark out and fabricate your own work — no one’s going to babysit you

• Be comfortable using oxy-acetylene gear

• Communicate with the team without needing an interpreter

• Manage your own time, job list, and workshop standards

• Be physically fit enough to climb, lift, weld and graft where needed

• Bonus if you’ve used a forklift, but it’s not a deal-breaker

• 31 days holiday

• Life insurance and pension

• Early starts = early finishes

• Proper kit, supportive team, and a manager who knows the difference between “urgent” and “annoying but fine”

If you’re a welder-fabricator who actually enjoys the job, and you’re not afraid to crack on without constant hand-holding, you’ll probably do well here.
