Job Description
Fabrication Team Leader
About the Client
Our client is a respected engineering and automation solutions provider, delivering bespoke factory automation systems across multiple sectors. The role sits within their in-house fabrications division, which supplies precision metal components to support wider project delivery.
They have invested significantly in fabrication technology and operate a well-equipped machine shop including CNCs, lathe, press brake, fibre laser, and welding bays.
The Opportunity
This is a fantastic hands-on leadership role for an experienced fabrication professional looking to step into (or grow within) a team leader role.
You’ll supervise a small, skilled team, manage the daily flow of production, and ensure the delivery of high-quality, bespoke parts. Your own technical competency – particularly with brake press operation – is important, but more so is your ability to lead effectively, plan proactively, and maintain a safe, productive working environment.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and coordinate day-to-day operations within the fabrications team.
* Operate brake press machinery and take ownership of related output - Core skill
* Supervise and delegate work across the team to maximise efficiency and output quality.
* Maintain high standards of safety, housekeeping, and workshop organisation.
* Support equipment maintenance schedules (Total Productive Maintenance – TPM).
* Interpret technical drawings and collaborate with design and production teams.
* Manage stock and consumables ordering via internal purchasing systems.
* Ensure all timesheet and job reporting is accurate and up to date.
* Monitor staff performance, attendance, and holidays with care and consistency.
* Promote team engagement, a positive working environment, and continuous improvement.
Candidate Profile
We’re looking for someone who’s practical, proactive, and brings a ‘lead by example’ mentality.
The ideal candidate will:
* Have a strong fabrication background – particularly brake press experience.
* Be a confident team leader with the ability to manage different working styles.
* Be highly organised with strong planning and time management skills.
* Be comfortable using production management software and general IT systems.
* Be familiar with Lean principles or 5S (desirable).
* Be fluent in English (additional languages a plus).
* Be reliable, mature, and solutions-focused – no egos, no drama.
What’s on Offer
* Uniform and PPE provided
* Spot bonus/award schemes for outstanding contributions
* Contributory pension (post-probation)
* 21 days holiday + statutory leave
* Additional holiday for long service
* Private healthcare (including partner and dependents, post-probation)
* Cycle to work scheme
* Opportunity to grow with a forward-thinking, well-invested business
Working Hours
* Monday–Thursday: 08:00–17:00
* Friday: 08:00–14:00
Eligibility
* Candidates must have the right to live and work in the UK – no sponsorship available
* Full UK driving licence required (Essential)
