Organise all site requirements including access, materials, install plans and documentation
Manage budgets, variations and job progress to ensure profitable, clean delivery
Work with the General Engineering team to set realistic schedules and keep workflow moving

Trade qualification (boilermaker, fitter) or Engineering diploma/degree
Strong fabrication knowledge—steelwork, plate, welding processes, workshop disciplines
Experience delivering small-to-medium engineering/fabrication jobs
Ability to read, interpret and modify drawings (SolidWorks experience ideal)
Comfortable with site work, measure-ups, and solving problems on the fly
Great communicator who can talk shop with both clients and tradies
Organised, accountable and able to run multiple jobs at once
Someone who enjoys variety — no two jobs are the same
A hands-on mindset and willingness to get into the detail
Why You'll Love Working Here
Stable, growing workload with long-term clients
Role has real ownership — you'll be the key technical point of contact
Supportive, experienced workshop team
Chance to grow with the General Engineering business as it scales
