The Opportunity
CV Technical is recruiting on behalf of a well-established manufacturing operation in Leicestershire for a skilled Maintenance Welder / Fabricator to join their days-based maintenance team. This is a hands-on, varied role offering a competitive salary and a permanent position within a busy and well-supported engineering function.
The business operates in a demanding production environment and is looking for someone who takes pride in the quality of their work, has a strong safety mindset, and can turn their hand to both welding and mechanical maintenance tasks. A background in heavy industry is beneficial but not essential - a competent, driven welder/fabricator with solid mechanical skills is equally welcome to apply.
The Role
Carry out MIG and stick welding to produce high-quality, durable welds suited to demanding plant conditions
Fabricate, repair and modify plant structures including chutes, hoppers, guards, platforms and high-wear components
Perform mechanical repairs on conveyors, mixers, material-handling systems and other production machinery
Complete hard-facing and wear-protection welding to extend component life in high-abrasion environments
Support planned preventive maintenance (PPM) and corrective maintenance activities across the site
Respond to urgent breakdowns, restoring production safely and efficiently to a high standard
Inspect and assess welds, structures and fabricated components to ensure compliance and durability
Maintain accurate maintenance and repair records in line with site requirements
Collaborate with production and maintenance teams to prioritise workload and drive plant reliability improvements
Carry out both workshop-based and on-site welding and mechanical work as required
Adhere to all hot-work, LOTO, confined space and PPE procedures at all times
What we're looking for
Strong MIG and stick welding skills - essential
Steel fabrication capability including layout, cutting and fit-up
Mechanical maintenance experience including repairs, replacements and adjustments
Ability to read fabrication drawings and interpret weld symbols
Strong awareness of safety procedures including hot-work permits, LOTO and PPE
Able to work independently and as part of a wider maintenance team
Good timekeeping, reliability and a proactive, can-do attitude
Welding certifications (CWB, AWS or equivalent) - advantageous
Experience in heavy industry, aggregates, quarrying or similar environments - preferred but not essential
Familiarity with PPM routines or reliability-focused maintenance - desirable
Exposure to continuous improvement or lean manufacturing principles - beneficial
