Fabricator by trade? Want to move into R&D and product development?

Coates Recruitment is working with Accora, a rapidly growing manufacturer of innovative medical equipment, to recruit an experienced Fabricator into their expanding R&D team.

This is not a traditional production fabrication role.

We need someone who is a Fabricator by trade, ideally apprentice trained, who can bring strong hands-on fabrication skills into a fast-paced R&D environment, building, modifying and developing bespoke prototypes and new products.

If you enjoy working from an idea or early-stage design and actually building, testing and improving it, this could be a brilliant next step.

The Role

Working within Accora's R&D team, you'll:

  * Fabricate and build bespoke prototypes and new product concepts

  * Weld, cut, form, modify and assemble components in-house

  * Work alongside Design and R&D Engineers to turn concepts into physical products

  * Modify and improve prototypes through testing and development

  * Solve practical engineering problems in a fast-moving project environment

  * Support products through development towards manufacture

The Person

You must be a Fabricator by trade.

We're looking for someone with:

  * Strong fabrication and welding experience

  * Ideally an apprenticeship or recognised fabrication/engineering qualification

  * Experience working on bespoke, one-off or low-volume products

  * Ability to work from engineering drawings and turn designs into finished builds

  * Strong practical problem-solving skills

  * Experience within prototype development or product development would be a major advantage

We're looking for the person who knows how to make things, modify things and solve problems practically.

What's On Offer

  * Circa. £40,000 – £55,000 depending on experience

  * Excellent long-term career progression

  * Opportunity to develop further into R&D and product development

  * Extensive training and development

  * Good holiday allowance + public holidays

  * Join a growing, well-invested R&D team

  * Work on innovative products that genuinely improve people's lives

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Fabricator who wants to take their trade skills beyond traditional production work and become a key part of a genuine R&D and new product development environment.
