Welder Fabricator

Overview

We are currently recruiting for a Welder Fabricator on behalf of a manufacturer of large industrial stainless steel heaters for the GSE and AME market. Due to an expanding order-book we now have an opening for a time served and skilled TIG-welder/fabricator with a strong bias towards tube and pipework.

Operating for over 40 years, they rent and lease out new and used airport equipment to Airlines, Airports and De-icing companies. Clients include the likes of Jet2, Easy Jet, Air Ambulance, Gatwick Airport and Heathrow Airport.

The work requires an individual with current or recent experience in full penetration TIG-welding on small bore tube and pipe in 300 series stainless steel.
