The Opportunity
We’re working with a highly successful and growing construction and manufacturing specialist to recruit an experienced Fabricator for their operation in Winkleigh, Devon .
The business designs, manufactures and installs complex stainless steel structures and components for major food manufacturing facilities across the region.
And they’re growing.
With a brand-new manufacturing hub under development , a strong secured workload and a number of recent contract wins, they’re now looking for an experienced fabricator who can combine first-class workmanship with the ability to lead from the front.
This is a hands-on position with real responsibility, excellent earning potential and the security of joining a business with plenty of work ahead of it.
The Role
