Assembly Team Leader

About us
UNIFABS is a UK subcontract manufacturing company. We build and assemble fabricated products for a range of clients, and we are growing our shop floor team.

The role
We need an experienced assembler who can work independently from technical drawings and, when needed, lead a small team on a job. You will plan the build, brief the team, keep quality and output on track, and sign off the finished work against the drawing.

Duties

• Read and interpret fabrication and assembly drawings (dimensions, tolerances, weld symbols, BOMs)
• Plan the build sequence and organise the work for yourself and a small team
• Fit up, assemble and check sheet metal and steel parts to specification
• Guide and support team members, and check their work
• Report drawing errors, material shortages or delays early, before they become problems
• Keep the work area safe, and make sure the team follows safety rules

Required skills

• Proven experience in fabrication or metal assembly
• Able to read technical drawings independently (essential)
• Experience leading, training or directing others (charge hand, supervisor or lead hand level)
• Good communicator who can give clear instructions and deal with problems calmly
• Takes ownership of quality and delivery dates
• Fluent enough in English to follow drawings, instructions and safety information

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a successful, growing sheet metal fabrication and design company with state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.
