Job Description
General Manager – Welding & Fabrication
£65,000 – £80,000 basic + bonus (OTE up to £100k) + Car Allowance + Benefits
Based near Leeds
Do you have deep knowledge of welding and fabrication and the leadership skills to run a busy, high-performing service centre?
We’re working with one of the UK’s leading fabrication and engineering groups to appoint a General Manager. This is not a role for someone from a purely OEM or mass-production background. You’ll either be time-served in welding/fabrication, having worked your way up, or you’ll already be running a fabrication and welding shop at senior level. Without this experience, applications will not be suitable.
About the Role
As General Manager, you’ll take full P&L responsibility for a 40+ person site delivering sheet metalwork, laser cutting, robotic welding, and structural fabrication. The business is a first and second-tier supplier into oil & gas, automotive, commercial vehicles, defence, and nuclear sectors.
Your responsibilities will include:
Full site leadership, accountable for operational performance, quality, and delivery.
Driving efficiency and continuous improvement across welding and fabrication processes.
Leading, motivating, and developing a skilled workforce.
Building and maintaining customer relationships while supporting commercial growth.
Ensuring projects are delivered on time, to cost, and to spec.
Reporting directly to the Group MD and contributing to wider group strategy.
What We’re Looking For
A proven leader in a fabrication and welding environment (service centre / project-based, not OEM).
Time-served in welding/fabrication or clear progression into GM/Director level within a fabrication shop.
Strong track record of managing operations, P&L, and commercial growth.
In-depth knowledge of ISO 9001, ISO 1090, and ISO 3834 standards, with experience managing compliance.
Understanding of lean manufacturing and continuous improvement in fabrication settings.
Hands-on, motivational leadership style.
Why Apply?
Lead and shape a respected welding and fabrication service centre.
Be recognised as the General Manager for a site supplying into multiple high-value sectors.
£65k–£80k base + bonus (OTE £100k), car allowance, and benefits.
Backing of a well-invested group committed to innovation and growth.
If you’ve built your career in welding and fabrication and want the autonomy to run and grow a dynamic service centre, we’d like to hear from you.
