• Conduct measurements and calculations using basic maths to ensure precise fabrication
• Deburr, dress and prepare components ready for finishing

• Collaborate with the team to meet project deadlines while upholding our quality and finish standards

Qualifications

• Proven experience in sheet metal work or sheet metal fabrication
• Strong mechanical knowledge, with familiarity with sheet metal properties and handling techniques

• Good organisational skills with attention to detail in forming and assembly
