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.

Some of this welding is positional and with restricted access. The product being manufactured includes a large variety of components, the most critical of which involve a complicated assembly sequence. Therefore, the applicant must be able to work on a correct first-time basis.

A high percentage of parts are profile cut, tapped, formed, turned and machined by subcontractors for ease of assembly.

This is a permanent position, based in Basingstoke, paying £37.5k - £40k per annum. It is working Monday to Friday, 8am – 4pm. Other perks also include overtime paid at time and a half, pension and 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays. It is a great opportunity to deliver exceptional craftsmanship whilst advancing your career in a supportive environment.

Responsibilities

  • A detailed-orientated and methodical approach.

  • Cutting, joining and shaping metal and other materials using heat and tools.

  • Reading and understand assembly instructions, ensuring materials are available and taking precise measurements.

  • Performing tasks such as fitting, setting, installing, cutting and welding.

  • Back purged TIG welding.

  • Accurate use of section rolls and plate rolls.

  • Turn table welding.

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.
