We are looking for an experienced and highly organised Progress Chaser to join our workshop team within the structural steel and mezzanine flooring industry.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor workshop requirements and ensure materials are available when needed.
• Chase outstanding steel, materials, fixings, stairs, and other project-related items.
• Liaise with suppliers and internal teams regarding deliveries and shortages.
• Monitor lead times and identify potential delays before they impact production.
• Check incoming materials and report discrepancies or shortages.
• Keep accurate records of orders, deliveries, and outstanding items.
• Work closely with the workshop team to understand upcoming requirements.
• Assist with stock control and replenishment.
• Communicate any issues that could affect production schedules.
• Help ensure projects are completed efficiently and on time.

What We're Looking For

• Experience within a structural steelwork, steel fabrication, engineering, or mezzanine flooring environment.
• Good understanding of steel sections, fabrication processes, and workshop production requirements.
• Ability to read and understand technical drawings and material specifications.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Confident communicator with suppliers, workshop staff, and management.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Proactive approach with the ability to identify problems before they affect production.

Why Apply?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing business where you can play a key role in keeping workshop operations running smoothly. If you understand steel fabrication and mezzanine flooring, we'd love to hear from you.
