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.

Your training

  • The learner will be studying the Engineering Operative Level 2 Apprenticeship Standard qualification.
  • Day release to North Cambridgeshire Training Centre (Chatteris). 

Where it leads

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.
