You will be working on a range of structural steel and fabrication projects, with a strong focus on accuracy, quality and working safely as part of a team.

We are also looking for an experienced Workshop Supervisor to take responsibility for the day-to-day running of our fabrication workshop and lead our team of tradespeople.

This role is suited to someone who has proven experience managing and leading a team, understands structural steel and fabrication, and knows how to get the best out of people while maintaining high standards of quality, safety and productivity.

You will play an important role in coordinating workshop activities, managing workloads and ensuring jobs are completed efficiently and to the required standard.

About the role:

• Lead, coordinate and support the workshop team
• Allocate daily jobs and manage workflow and priorities
• Monitor productivity, quality and job progress
• Ensure fabrication is completed accurately and to specification
• Read and interpret engineering and fabrication drawings
• Provide practical guidance and support to tradespeople

• Ability to hold people accountable while maintaining a positive team environment
• Excellent attention to detail and commitment to quality
• Reliable, organised and able to work under pressure
