We as a company supply extremely high-quality training facilities such as – Live Fire Shoot houses, Fire Training facilities (Carbonation Unit), Air Delivery Platforms, Fully Kitted Gyms and Secure Rooms/Armouries for the UK Special Forces and Regular Armed Forces all over the world.

You would be a key member of the team that would work closely with experienced welders, to manufacture all the above to a very high standard.

Every day is different, and upon manufacture completion there will be opportunities to install the finished product on site at a destination, that could be anywhere in the world.

The Candidate will split between the SOE workshop and HP workshop with a Fortnightly swap. This will be job dependant as swapping over while an ongoing job may have 1-2 days left to finish would not be beneficial. I would try and ensure they see it through, SOE Jobs can last months but tend to be split into sections, and HP tend to work on a smaller scale with fitness equipment but in much higher quantities.

General daily tasks may include –

• Edge prepping flat and tube steel sections for welding.
• Working from detailed drawings to assemble steel frame structures and secure walling withing shipping containers or in open space.
• Working as a team to complete daily welding, fabrication and housekeeping tasks in order to achieve deadlines.
• Communicate with colleagues regularly to ensure everyone is aware of all daily tasks and who is responsible for which.
