Easy apply
Location: Rotherham (S60)
Salary: £23.50 per hour plus overtime and profit share
Contract: Full-time, permanent
Shifts: Friday to Sunday, 6:00am to 6:00pm (3-day week)
Three days worked. Four days off every single week.
That’s the setup here. You get your hours done Friday to Sunday, then you’re off until the following week. It’s still a welding and fabrication role, just structured in a way that gives you more time away from work. Alongside that, you’re not walking into a stop-start environment. The work is consistent, the shop floor is well set up, and expectations are clear. Weld it right, keep to standard, and maintain output.
You’ll be based in a large, well-invested manufacturing facility in Rotherham, producing components across sectors including defence, rail and heavy engineering.
What the role looks like day to day:
You’ll be carrying out MIG welding and fabrication work across a range of materials, working from drawings and producing parts to required standards.
You’ll be on the shop floor, part of a production team, maintaining consistency and quality across your shift.
What you will be doing:
- MIG welding on carbon steel, armour steel and aluminium.
- Welding a range of joint configurations in all positions.
- Setting parameters in line with WPS requirements.
- Working from engineering drawings.
- Meeting production targets while maintaining quality.
- Carrying out equipment and safety checks.
- Ensuring correct marking and labelling of components
- Recent welding and fabrication experience.
- Strong MIG welding ability.
- Ability to read and understand engineering drawings.
- Understanding of quality standards and production requirements.
- Comfortable working in a manufacturing environment.
- Good attention to detail and consistency.
- Coded welding experience is beneficial but not essential.
Why people move into this role: The shift pattern is the main difference. You’re working full-time hours across three days and getting four days off every week. Alongside that, you’re joining a well-established operation with steady work, proper equipment and a clear way of working.
What you get:
- £23.50 per hour (circa £42,200 per year based on 34.5 hours).
- Overtime available.
- Annual profit share bonus.
- 33 days holiday including bank holidays.
- Company pension.
- Life assurance.
- Healthcare plan.
- Costco membership discount.
- Monthly vending allowance.
- Reduced gym membership.
- Free on-site parking.
- Ongoing training and development.
