Welder / Fabricator

Location: Northern Ireland

Industry: Trailer Manufacturing

We are currently looking for experienced Welders / Fabricators to join a leading trailer manufacturer in Northern Ireland. Our client is a well-established name in the industry, known for producing high-quality heavy-duty trailers. This is a practical, shop-floor role for someone who takes pride in clean welds and structural integrity.

The Role

You will be responsible for the fabrication and assembly of trailer chassis and components. This isn't just basic "tack and go" work; you’ll be reading technical drawings and ensuring every build meets road-legal safety standards.

Key Responsibilities

Fabrication: Mark out, cut, and shape steel components using saws, benders, and torches.
Welding: Perform high-quality MIG welding on mild steel (and occasionally stainless) to build heavy-duty frames and axles.
Assembly: Use jigs and fixtures to assemble trailer parts accurately before final welding.
Blueprint Reading: Interpret engineering drawings to ensure all measurements and specifications are spot on.
Quality & Safety: Inspect your own welds for penetration and finish, maintaining a safe and organized workspace.

What We Are Looking For

Proven Experience: A solid background in MIG welding and heavy metal fabrication (experience in the transport or agricultural machinery sector is a big plus).
Technical Skills: Ability to work independently from drawings and use standard workshop machinery (grinders, drills, etc.).
Work Ethic: Someone who is punctual, reliable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment.
Precision: A focus on structural strength and a clean finish—our trailers have to handle heavy loads and look the part.

Why Apply?

Stable, long-term work with a reputable manufacturer.
Competitive hourly rates with overtime opportunities.
Opportunity to work with modern equipment in a specialized sector.
