Fabricator Welder BEdford

Location: Bedford
Contract: Long-term ongoing contract and temp to permanent
Shift: Monday to Friday, days
Welding: TIG

We are currently recruiting for a Fabricator Welder to join a busy manufacturing facility in Bedford on a long-term ongoing contract.

This is a hands-on, maintenance-focused role rather than a traditional fabrication position. You will be responsible for carrying out repairs, modifications and fabrication work around the site, helping to keep equipment, machinery and site infrastructure operating safely and effectively.

The Role

As a Fabricator Welder, you will be involved in:

  • Carrying out TIG welding and fabrication repairs around the manufacturing site
  • Repairing and modifying existing machinery, equipment and structures
  • Fabricating replacement parts and components where required
  • Working from measurements and existing components rather than primarily producing new builds
  • Carrying out preventative and reactive maintenance-related fabrication work
  • TIG welding to a high standard
  • Working alongside the engineering and maintenance teams
  • Ensuring all work is completed safely and to a good standard

About You

We are looking for an experienced Fabricator Welder with strong TIG welding experience who is comfortable working in an industrial or manufacturing environment.

You should have:

  • Previous experience as a Fabricator Welder
  • Strong TIG welding and fabrication skills
  • Experience repairing or modifying existing equipment, machinery or structures
  • Good practical problem-solving skills
  • The ability to work independently and as part of a maintenance team
  • Experience within manufacturing, engineering, production or another industrial environment would be advantageous

This would suit a Fabricator Welder who enjoys a varied maintenance environment and is looking for a long-term contract rather than short-term fabrication projects.

Commutable from: Bedford, Kempston, Luton, Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard, Milton Keynes, Biggleswade, Sandy, Hitchin, Stevenage, St Neots, Flitwick, Ampthill, Shefford, Harpenden, Hemel Hempstead, Aylesbury, Northampton, Wellingborough and Kettering.

If you are an experienced Fabricator Welder with TIG welding experience looking for a long-term Monday-to-Friday days contract in Bedford, please apply for more information.
