Welder/Fabricator

The Boatyard at Paglesham requires local / Essex-based welder-fabricators to join a multi-boat building programme.

The offer is a short-term (zero hours) contract; however, there is a huge amount of work to undertake over the next 12 months - and - for the right candidates - for a much longer period. Remuneration is good and hours per week should exceed 38 hours most weeks. There will be opportunities for overtime.

The job is very much a welder/fabricator role - and not suitable simply for welders. We require at least City and Guilds or equivalent in welding and fabrication with at least five years' experience on either on site or in workshops. Boatbuilding experience is not necessary.

Applicants require good skills in MIG welding and Flux Core MIG welding, plasma cutting, oxy-acetylene cutting, marking out and fabrication to drawings and from scratch.

This is an outside-based job - though some work will be conducted in workshops. Working environments are covered - but subject to climatic temperature fluctuation.

Successful candidates will pass an on-site trade test and will be able to demonstrate both excellent trade skill plus the ability to work independently when required to do so.
