Hours: 4-day week, 40 hours — Monday to Thursday, 7:00am – 5:30pm. Every Friday off.

What You'll Need
• You must have the legal right to work in the UK
• Proven TIG welding experience on aluminium — essential
• Wider TIG experience in a fabrication environment (carbon/stainless steels)

• £17.00 per hour (circa £35,000 per annum)

• Varied bespoke work — small precision parts through to large structural assemblies
