Welder / Fabricator / Machinist Technician

At Heathrow, our Manufacturing Production Workshop is a small but highly skilled engineering team with a big reputation across the airport. Our motto is simple:

"You Break It, We Make It."

From designing and manufacturing enclosures, ramps, barriers, machine guarding, frames, cabinets and trolleys, to creating one-off bespoke solutions for operational teams, no two days are the same.

If you take pride in quality craftsmanship, enjoy solving problems and thrive in a customer-focused environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Shift Pattern: 4 x 10 hour shifts Monday to Thursday (07:00-17:00), 1 x 10 hour night per month (19.00-05.00).

You'll be part of a dedicated team that designs, fabricates, manufactures and installs practical engineering solutions across the Heathrow campus.

You'll:

• Weld, fabricate and machine bespoke products and components.
• Manufacture and repair items including enclosures, ramps, barriers, bins, guarding, cabinets, trolleys and specialist equipment.
• Interpret drawings, sketches and customer requirements to deliver high-quality finished products.
• Work directly with customers to understand challenges and create practical solutions.
• Install finished products safely within operational environments.
• Ensure all work meets Heathrow standards and ASIAD compliance requirements where applicable.
• Support sustainable manufacturing by reducing waste, repurposing materials and identifying innovative ways of working.
• Deliver projects safely, efficiently and always on time.

We're interested in people who combine technical ability with a positive, customer-focused attitude.

You'll ideally have:

• Experience in welding, fabrication and/or machining (NVQ L3/City and Guilds)
• Strong practical engineering and problem-solving skills.
• Experience using workshop machinery and engineering equipment.
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings.
• Excellent attention to detail and pride in producing high-quality work.
• Strong communication and customer service skills.
