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.

Space Industry Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK space‑sector hiring has shifted from pedigree‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation across the full stack—spacecraft systems, payload/RF, flight software, GNC/ADCS, propulsion, structures/thermal, AIT (assembly–integration–test), mission/ground operations, reliability/radiation, and compliance (ECSS, export control). Employers want proof you can build, test, operate and scale space systems safely and economically. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for satellite/spacecraft engineers, payload & RF/MM‑wave, flight & ground software, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal, AIT/test, mission ops, data/EO, and space product/TPM roles. Who this is for: Systems engineers, payload/RF engineers, flight software & FDIR, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal/structures, propulsion, AIT/test, reliability/radiation, QA/compliance, ground segment/cloud, mission operations, EO/data processing, and product/programme managers targeting roles in the UK space ecosystem.

Why Space Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

The UK’s space sector is growing fast — from satellite systems and Earth observation to satellite communications, space robotics, propulsion, space data analytics, and mission operations. But the nature of space work is changing. Projects involving satellites, launch systems, space robotics and ground infrastructure are now embedded in regulation, public perception, human interaction and cross-disciplinary design. Space careers in the UK used to be dominated by engineers, astrophysicists, systems analysts and telemetry experts. Today, they increasingly demand fluency not only in aerospace, software, electronics & data, but also in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. After all, space systems operate under treaties, privacy constraints, public scrutiny, international collaborations and human interfaces. In this article, we explore why space careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with space work, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive in this evolving cosmos.

UK Space Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Space Department

The UK space sector is rapidly expanding. With growth in satellite design, Earth observation, communications, launch systems, space science, downstream applications, and regulatory and operational services, there’s rising demand for skilled professionals across many disciplines. Building a high-impact space organisation requires well-defined team structures, clear roles, strong collaboration, and alignment across engineering, science, operations, regulation, and commercial functions. If you are applying for roles via UKSpaceJobs.co.uk or hiring into your company, this guide will help you understand the principal roles you’ll find in a space team, how they interact during mission lifecycles, what skills UK employers expect, salary norms, common challenges, and best practice for structuring space teams that succeed.
