Experienced Sheet Metal Worker / Plater (Yes, That’s You, Metal Maestro)

Location: Peterborough
Type: Full-Time | Permanent
Pay: Competitive (a.k.a. decent) + Solid Perks

 So, What’s the Gig?

If you’ve got a knack for bending metal to your will (literally), and you can read engineering drawings like other people read novels, keep reading.

We're on the hunt for a seasoned Sheet Metal Worker / Plater to join a cracking team where traditional craftsmanship still means something. You’ll be working with both your hands and machines—rolling, folding, cutting, hammering—bringing flat sheet metal to life in the form of beautiful, bespoke components.

This is no conveyor-belt, rinse-and-repeat type of job. It's about quality over quantity. One-off and small-batch is the name of the game, and the craftsmanship? Impeccable.

 What You’ll Be Doing (aka The Nitty-Gritty)

• Manhandling metal with classic tools and proper machinery
• Reading technical drawings without a hint of a headache
• Making one-of-a-kind parts and assembling them like the boss you are
• Measuring twice, cutting once (we like things that fit)
• Taking pride in the finish—smooth edges, tight fits, and a satisfied sigh
• Occasionally chatting with clients (don’t worry, no small talk about the weather unless you want to)

 Who You (Probably) Are

• You’ve been around the metal block—this isn’t your first roller
• Handy with both manual tools and proper workshop kit
• You speak fluent “Engineering Drawing”
• You’ve worked with mild steel, stainless, aluminium—and have the calluses to prove it
• Detail-oriented (yes, we know everyone says that, but we mean it)
• You solve problems like a pro, not a panicker
• You’re reliable, skilled, and low-key brilliant

 What’s In It for You?

• A workshop that actually respects craftsmanship
• Projects that are genuinely interesting (no two days the same)
• Decent pay, depending on experience
• All the tools you need (no need to bring your own dodgy hammer)
• A company that’s stable, well-established, and not going anywhere anytime soon

Why You May Not Like It

Let’s be honest—it’s not for everyone.
If you’re more about speed than precision, you’ll struggle.
If you need constant supervision or hate working independently… awkward.
If you see a technical drawing and get hives, this will not be a fun time.
And if you’re looking for mass production or factory-floor monotony—sorry, wrong gig.

But if you’re a sheet metal craftsperson who gets a kick out of making something solid, beautiful, and bespoke—this? This could be your sweet spot.

Final Word

If shaping, folding, cutting, and creating from raw metal is your thing—and you want to do it somewhere that actually gives a damn about quality—apply now. You know you want to.
