Skilled Fabricators Wanted – Motorsport Industry | Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire Border

Join a world-class fabrication team.

Are you an experienced fabricator/welder with a passion for precision engineering? Do you thrive in a high-performance environment, working with thin-wall materials (0.3mm – 2mm) such as Inconel, Titanium, Aluminium, and Stainless Steel?

For over 40 years, we have been supplying top-level motorsport teams and engine builders across the globe, from British Touring Car and F1 to IndyCar in the US. Due to a growing workload, we are looking for two highly skilled fabricators to join our elite team.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Fabrication and welding of precision components to an exceptionally high standard

  • Working from technical drawings to produce complex parts

  • Using a variety of fabrication equipment, including band saws, presses, grinding wheels, Avamatic machines, etc.

  • Ensuring all parts are correctly fitted, aligned, and assembled

  • Maintaining high quality control standards

  • Reporting any product deficiencies and proactively resolving production issues

    What We’re Looking For:

  • Extensive sheet metal work and fabrication experience

  • Expertise in thin-walled stainless and nickel alloys (under 1mm)

  • A high standard of welding, particularly within motorsport, aerospace, or similar high-precision industries

  • Ability to interpret technical drawings and work to fine tolerances

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality

  • Ability to work independently or within a high-performance team

  • A flexible, can-do attitude

    What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary: £19 - £20 per hour (dependent on experience)

  • Core hours: Monday – Friday, 7:00 AM – 3:30 PM (30-min lunch)

  • Annual leave: 20 days + bank holidays (rising to 25 days after 2 years)

  • Overtime: Paid at time and a half

  • Pension: 11% employer contribution (regardless of employee contribution)

  • Bonus scheme: Profit-related annual bonus

    Location: Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire border

    We’re looking for immediate starters.

    We are looking for candidates who can hit the ground running. Ideally, you’ll have motorsport experience, but we may also consider candidates from aerospace, precision engineering, or high-end fabrication backgrounds.

    While our preference is for permanent hires, we may consider experienced contract fabricators who meet our exacting standards.

Thales Alenia Space Jobs in 2025: Your Complete UK Guide to Building Europe’s Next‑Generation Satellites & Lunar Gateways

From pressurised modules orbiting the Moon to broadband mega‑constellations 1,200 km above Earth, Thales Alenia Space (TAS) sits at the heart of Europe’s space ambitions. A joint venture between Thales (67 %) and Leonardo (33 %), TAS employs more than 8,500 people across 17 sites—with growing hubs in Bristol and the Harwell Space Cluster. The firm is lead contractor for Europe’s IRIS² secure‑connect constellation (green‑lit in 2024) and supplies modules for NASA/ESA’s Lunar Gateway. Unsurprisingly, TAS has ramped up hiring: a quick scan of the Thales Alenia Space careers portal shows vacancies in systems engineering, RF payloads, AIT and mission operations. Whether you are a UK graduate dreaming of building communications payloads, a thermal engineer keen to keep lunar habitats at room temperature, or a programme manager itching to deliver the next Copernicus Earth‑observation satellite, this guide explains how to land a Thales Alenia Space job in 2025.

Satellite Engineering vs. Launch Vehicle Engineering vs. Ground Systems: Which Path Should You Choose?

The space sector has experienced a remarkable resurgence in recent years, fuelled by commercial enterprises, miniaturised satellites, reusable rockets, and interplanetary missions. From building satellites that gather climate data to launching payloads on low-cost rockets or orchestrating ground infrastructure for real-time mission control, this industry spans a vast array of engineering and scientific disciplines. If you’ve been browsing space jobs on www.ukspacejobs.co.uk, you’ll likely notice a variety of roles falling into Satellite Engineering, Launch Vehicle Engineering, or Ground Systems. Which path should you pursue if you’re passionate about shaping humanity’s presence beyond Earth? In this comprehensive guide, we’ll define these three primary fields, compare overlapping vs. unique skills, delve into job titles and salary ranges, share real-world examples, and offer career tips. Whether your fascination lies in designing high-performance rockets, creating satellite constellations for broadband coverage, or ensuring seamless ground-to-space communication, understanding these subfields will help you align your talents and ambitions with the right trajectory—both literally and figuratively.

Which Programming Languages Should You Learn for a Career in Space Technology

From satellite constellations delivering broadband internet to Mars rovers and deep-space probes, the space sector is one of the most ambitious and technically challenging industries you can work in. Careers in space technology often blend aerospace engineering, embedded software, scientific computing, and mission-critical systems, each requiring a specific set of programming and engineering skills. If you’re browsing opportunities on www.ukspacejobs.co.uk, a natural question arises: Which programming language(s) should you learn to thrive in the space domain? The answer depends on your chosen speciality. Spacecraft flight software might prioritise C/C++ for reliability and performance, while ground stations and data pipelines may use Python for automation or MATLAB for signal processing. In advanced research environments, Fortran still persists for numerical simulations, whereas Rust is emerging for secure, robust embedded applications. In this guide, we’ll examine: Key programming languages vital for space tech. The pros, cons, and typical use cases of each. A hands-on project idea to help you build relevant aerospace experience.
