Fine Limit Sheet Metal FabricatorPrecision Engineering
We're looking for an experienced Sheet Metal Fabricator who takes pride in high-precision work and enjoys working on complex, tight-tolerance components.
This is a hands-on role within a specialist fabrication environment, producing detailed parts for highly regulated industries. You'll be working with a wide range of materials - including more challenging alloys - where quality and accuracy are critical.
The OpportunityYou'll play a key role in transforming flat sheet into finished components, often working from detailed drawings but also applying your own judgement and craftsmanship where required.
Core Responsibilities- Manufacture precision sheet metal components to tight tolerances using a range of fabrication techniques
- Carry out bending, forming, cutting, and assembly operations across a variety of materials
- Interpret engineering drawings, sketches, and shop floor instructions to produce accurate parts
- Set up and operate fabrication machinery such as press brakes, fly presses, and finishing equipment
- Perform hand forming and development work on prototype or low-volume components
- Complete finishing processes including deburring, trimming, drilling, filing, and grinding
- Inspect components throughout the process to ensure compliance with specification
- Maintain tools, jigs, and equipment in good working order and ready for use
What We're Looking For- Strong background in fine limit sheet metal work within a precision manufacturing setting
- Proven ability to work to tight tolerances across complex components
- Confident reading and interpreting technical engineering drawings
- Experience working with a variety of materials including aluminium and stainless steel
- Ability to work independently and maintain high standards under minimal supervision
Highly Desirable- Previous experience within aerospace, defence, or other highly regulated industries
- Familiarity with exotic materials such as titanium and nickel-based alloys (e.g. Inconel)
- Skilled in manual forming techniques for bespoke or prototype work
- Experience assembling fabricated parts alongside machined components
Why Consider This Role- Work on complex, high-specification components rather than repetitive production
- Opportunity to utilise and develop advanced fabrication skills
- Join a team where craftsmanship and precision are genuinely valued
