TIG Welder / Skilled Stainless Steel Fabricator
Location: Newhaven, East Sussex
Salary: £16–£18 per hour (£32,448–£36,504 per year)
Employment: Permanent full time - 39 hours per week
The Opportunity An established manufacturer of specialist equipment is looking for an experienced Stainless Steel Fabricator / TIG Welder. The role combines precision sheet metal fabrication, TIG welding, fitting and high-grade polishing of bespoke products used in demanding technical environments. You will work from engineering drawings through to finished assemblies.
Key Responsibilities
* Fabricate stainless steel components and complete assemblies from engineering drawings.
* Measure, mark out, cut, bend, form and assemble precision sheet metal.
* Carry out high-quality TIG welding, mainly on stainless steel.
* Grind, dress, finish and polish stainless steel to a high standard.
* Use workshop equipment including press brakes, guillotines, rollers and grinders.
* Check dimensions and finish quality, resolve practical issues and maintain a safe workshop.
Skills and Experience Required
* At least four years of relevant professional TIG welding experience, particularly on stainless steel.
* Strong stainless steel sheet metal fabrication experience and ability to read drawings.
* Practical high-grade polishing and finishing experience, not welding alone.
* Confidence using standard sheet metal and fabrication machinery.
* Accuracy, good understanding of tolerances and ability to complete work independently.
Desirable Experience
* Thin-gauge stainless steel, bespoke manufacture, fitting or mechanical assembly.
* Healthcare, laboratory, pharmaceutical or cleanroom equipment production.
* A relevant fabrication/welding apprenticeship or recognised qualification.
Why Join This Business?
* Work on varied, bespoke precision-manufactured products rather than only repetitive welding.
* See products through fabrication, welding, assembly and high-quality finishing.
* Join an established manufacturing operation with an in-house engineering team.
* Access additional training where appropriate to manufacturing needs.
* Workplace pension and potential overtime, subject to business requirements.
