The role is based on a production floor where quality control and throughput targets are central.

Quality Control & Inspection

• Conduct incoming inspection of raw materials and components against purchase specifications and material certificates using precision measuring instruments including micrometres, vernier callipers, height gauges, and hardness testers.
• Document, classify, and report all non-conformances identified during production, actively participating in root cause investigations using techniques such as fishbone analysis and five-why methodology to prevent recurrence of the same defects.

Safety & Workshop Management

• Enforce strict adherence to occupational health and safety regulations and company safety policies within the workshop, including correct PPE usage, compliance with lockout and tagout procedures, and safe operation of overhead cranes and forklifts by licensed operators.
• Conduct daily pre-start inspections of all workshop plant and equipment including machine tools, welding sets, lifting tackle, and portable power tools, reporting any defects to maintenance immediately and tagging out unsafe equipment until repaired.

Fabrication & Production

• Set up, programme, and operate CNC lathes, milling machines, and conventional machine tools to manufacture precision components to exact tolerances, selecting appropriate cutting speeds, feeds, and tooling for each material type and machining operation.
• Monitor production machinery during operation to detect abnormal sounds, vibrations, or output quality variations, stopping equipment for investigation and making necessary adjustments to prevent defective output and unplanned downtime.
• Read and interpret complex engineering drawings, welding symbols, and work instructions to determine fabrication sequences, material requirements, and dimensional tolerances before commencing production on each job to minimise rework and material wastage.
• Fabricate, assemble, and weld structural steel components, pressure vessels, and piping systems according to detailed engineering drawings, using MIG, TIG, and arc welding processes to produce structurally sound and visually acceptable welds that pass non-destructive testing.

• Physical fitness to stand for extended periods, handle heavy materials, and work in an industrial environment with noise and heat.
• A recognised trade certificate in boilermaking, welding, fitting, fitting and turning, or millwrighting from a relevant training authority.
• For quality inspection roles, proficiency in using precision measuring instruments and knowledge of inspection techniques and sampling plans.
• Experience in operating material handling equipment including overhead cranes and forklifts with relevant licences.
• Strong understanding of occupational health and safety regulations and a demonstrated commitment to safe working practices.
