Fabricator

Light Fabricator / TIG Welder
ALH is partnering with a specialist Wellington metalwork business producing high-quality architectural work in stainless steel, aluminium, brass and other specialist metals.

We're looking for an experienced fabricator who takes pride in producing work that doesn't just need to be strong - it needs to look good too.
This role would suit someone who considers themselves a fabricator who can weld, rather than simply a welder who can fabricate.
You'll need to be comfortable taking a job from a drawing through to the finished product without needing someone standing over you.

You'll be responsible for:

• Reading and interpreting fabrication drawings
• Measuring and marking out accurately
• Light and precision fabrication
• TIG welding stainless steel and aluminium
• Working with architectural and decorative metalwork
• Cutting, forming, drilling and assembling components
• Grinding, polishing and finishing
• Checking dimensions, tolerances and finished quality
• Problem-solving and working independently
• Workshop fabrication with some site work as required

We're looking for someone who:

• Has strong light fabrication experience
• Is confident TIG welding stainless steel and aluminium
• Can read a drawing and turn it into a finished product
• Understands accurate measuring and marking out
• Produces clean, high-quality work
• Has experience finishing and polishing stainless
• Can work independently without constant supervision
• Takes genuine pride in their workmanship

Experience with architectural metalwork, balustrades, handrails, custom stainless work, sheet metal or high-end fabrication would be particularly useful.

This isn't heavy structural fabrication and it isn't repetitive production welding.
You'll be working on custom, visible, high-quality metalwork, so attention to detail and finish are just as important as welding ability.

If you're the type of fabricator who likes being handed a drawing and trusted to take the job from start to finish, we'd like to hear from you.
