Are you a hands-on leader who thrives on the shop floor and knows how to get the best out of a team? If you’ve worked your way up in fabrication and want a role where your voice matters and your work makes a real difference—this is for you.
A long-standing, family-run engineering company based in Grantham, with around 50 dedicated employees and a close-knit culture. As the Fabrication Manager, you’ll take charge of a busy workshop, leading a team of 30 skilled professionals. You'll play a vital role in keeping projects on track, quality high, and morale even higher.
This is not a desk job. We’re looking for someone who can roll up their sleeves, set the pace on the floor, and lead by example.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Running the day-to-day fabrication operations on the shop floor
- Leading, developing, and motivating a team of fabricators and production staff
- Quickly solving problems and keeping things moving
- Ensuring top-quality work goes out on time, every time
- Supporting training and skills development across the team
- Stepping in with hands-on fabrication work when needed
What We’re Looking For:
- A natural leader who’s earned their stripes on the shop floor
- Down-to-earth, approachable, and knows how to bring out the best in people
- Solid experience in fabrication, welding, or general manufacturing
- Comfortable with steelwork, CNC, or similar production processes
- Someone who prefers action over admin—but knows how to keep things organised too
You’ll Need:
- A practical background in fabrication—welding, sheet metal, machining, or similar
- Strong working knowledge of manufacturing processes and quality control
- Experience managing people in a production environment
This is your chance to join a family business where your opinion counts. You'll have autonomy, respect, and the opportunity to put your stamp on how things are done.
