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
