Job Description

Cranleigh STEM are partnering with an innovative UK clean energy technology company developing next-generation hydrogen power systems. As the business continues to develop and commercialise its technology, we're looking for an experienced Welder / Fabricator to join its growing engineering and manufacturing team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a practical, hands-on individual to work on technically interesting projects, supporting the fabrication, assembly and development of specialist equipment used in hydrogen production and power generation.

The Role

Working closely with the engineering and prototype development teams, you'll be responsible for welding, fabricating and assembling mechanical components and structures to support the build of complex engineered systems.

The position would suit an experienced Welder or Fabricator who enjoys varied, precision-focused work rather than repetitive production welding, and takes pride in producing high-quality components.

We're particularly interested in experienced TIG Welders with previous coding in stainless steel pipe welding.

Responsibilities Include:

• Carrying out welding and fabrication activities to engineering drawings and specifications
• Preparing, cutting, fitting and assembling metal components and fabricated structures
• Producing high-quality welded assemblies for prototype and production equipment
• Supporting the fabrication and modification of mechanical components, brackets, frames and supporting structures
• Working alongside mechanical engineers and technicians to resolve practical manufacturing and assembly challenges
• Inspecting completed work to ensure dimensional accuracy and quality standards
• Maintaining welding equipment, tools and a safe, organised workshop
• Supporting continuous improvement across fabrication and manufacturing processes
• Following appropriate health, safety and quality procedures

Experience Required:

• Previous TIG welding coding for stainless steel pipework
• Proven experience TIG welding stainless steel pipes and assemblies
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and welding specifications
• Experience preparing, fitting and welding pipework to high-quality standards
• Strong understanding of weld quality, inspection and safe working practices
• Experience in prototype, process equipment or specialist engineering environments advantageous

Benefits:

• Performance bonus scheme
• Company Share Option Scheme
• Private healthcare
• Contributory pension
