Metal Fabricator

Wolviston Management Services

County Durham Temp to Perm
Metal Fabricator Location: County Durham

An established manufacturing business is seeking a Metal Fabricator to join its growing production team.

This position is ideally suited to a fabricator who enjoys working with lightweight aluminium products and assemblies. While welding experience is desirable, this is not a dedicated welding role. The focus is on fabrication, assembly, finishing, and producing high-quality components to specification.

The Role Working within a busy manufacturing environment, you will be responsible for fabricating and assembling aluminium products to a high standard, ensuring quality and production targets are consistently met.

Key responsibilities include:
  • Fabricating and assembling aluminium components from engineering drawings.
  • Cutting, drilling, folding and preparing materials for manufacture.
  • Using a variety of hand tools and workshop equipment.
  • Carrying out basic welding activities where required.
  • Ensuring all products meet quality standards and customer specifications.
  • Conducting self-inspection of completed work.
  • Working closely with colleagues across production to achieve delivery deadlines.
  • Maintaining a safe, organised and efficient working environment.
  • Supporting continuous improvement initiatives within the workshop.
What We're Looking For
  • Previous experience in a fabrication or manufacturing environment.
  • Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings.
  • Experience working with aluminium, sheet metal or light gauge materials.
  • Strong attention to detail and pride in producing quality work.
  • Good practical skills and a hands-on approach.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
  • Positive attitude and willingness to learn.
Desirable Experience
  • Basic MIG or TIG welding experience.
  • Experience with aluminium fabrication.
  • Experience using workshop machinery such as guillotines, presses, saws or drills.
  • Background in architectural metalwork, façades, flashings or bespoke manufacturing.
This is an excellent opportunity for a skilled fabricator looking to develop their career within a stable and growing manufacturing business. The role would particularly suit someone whose strengths lie in fabrication and assembly, with welding viewed as a useful secondary skill rather than the primary focus of the position.
