Workshop Welder / Machinist (Stainless Steel Focus)

Looking for a role where your welding skills are genuinely valued, but you can also keep your hands in machining?

We’re working with a well-established manufacturing business looking to add a Welder / Machinist to their close-knit workshop team. This is a hands-on, varied role with a strong emphasis on quality stainless steel welding, alongside practical machining work using lathes and mills.

The Role

This is not a one-dimensional job — you’ll be a key part of the workshop, balancing precision welding with machining responsibilities.

MIG welding on stainless and mild steel fabricated components 
	
Producing clean, high-quality welds where finish matters 
	
Operating manual machinery including lathes, mills and band saws 
	
Supporting light CNC work where required 
	
Reading and working from engineering drawings and technical specs 
	
Inspecting your own work to maintain high standards 
	
Working closely with the wider team to meet production targets 

(Typically a welding-led role, but with regular hands-on machining throughout the week) 

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is confident in welding, but also comfortable getting involved with machining — or keen to develop further in that area.

Strong MIG welding experience (essential) 
	
Experience working with stainless steel – key requirement 
	
Ability to produce neat, consistent welds 
	
Experience using manual lathes and/or milling machines 
	
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings 
	
Background in a workshop or manufacturing environment 
	
A hands-on, team-focused attitude with pride in your work 

(Machining can be developed further if your welding is your stronger skillset)

Why Apply?

£30–32k basic + regular overtime available 
	
Monday to Friday – no weekends 
	
25 days holiday + bank holidays 
	
Supportive, down-to-earth team environment 
	
Opportunity to develop both welding and machining skills 
	
Stable business that invests in its people 

This role suits someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in high-quality stainless steel welding, but also wants to stay involved in practical machining work rather than being stuck on one process all day
