Full Job Description
Introduction
Crofton Engineering is a long-established small-medium enterprise. We are specialist sub-contractors in the construction industry. The team is looking to recruit for an Apprentice Welder/Fabricator.
About the Employer
Crofton Engineering is a long-established small-medium enterprise. We are specialist sub-contractors in the construction industry. We take a job from Architects and Engineers drawings; we produce the fabrication drawings, fabricate the steel and install or erect it on site.
We also design, manufacture and install our own products of Fire Training Towers, Buildings and Structures for the Fire & Rescue Service.
What You'll Do
Main Roles and Responsibilities:
The role is to learn how to weld and fabricate structural steelwork and architectural metalwork (balustrades, balconies, stairs) from mild steel.
The department is the workshop and the ultimate responsibility is to read the fabrication drawings and produce the product as drawn to the standards of BS EN 1090, under the guidance of the Workshop Supervisor.
Training Outcome
The prospects are to either become a workshop fabricator, who can make steel into intricate shapes; or a site welder/fabricator – welding steel on construction sites using different techniques. There may be further opportunities, after welding skills have been mastered, to go into the drawing office and learn detail design draughting and in time to project management of construction projects or into estimating and the commercial side of the business.
