  • Use cutting, rolling, and bending equipment to form components as needed.
  • Adhere to welding procedures and quality standards, ensuring high finish quality and dimensional accuracy.
  • Assemble mechanical systems including bearings, motors, gearboxes, pulleys, linear rails, and other components used in stage machinery.
  • Fit and align moving parts to ensure smooth and safe mechanical function.
  • Perform functional testing and basic fault finding on mechanical systems.
  • Work from mechanical schematics, exploded drawings, and layout plans to complete assemblies.
  • Maintain an organized and tidy work area, adhering to health & safety standards.
  • Support cross-functional collaboration with design, engineering, and installation teams to resolve build challenges.
  • Conduct in-process quality checks and ensure all work meets project specifications and safety requirements.
  • Handle materials in line with company procedures, including inventory checks and waste minimization.
  • Participate in continuous improvement initiatives related to fabrication, assembly, and workflow.


Position Requirements
  • Proven experience in custom welding and fabrication (Welding Certifications)
  • Mechanical aptitude and hands-on experience with machine assembly or mechanical builds.
  • Ability to interpret engineering and fabrication drawings confidently.
  • Familiarity with safe use of fabrication tools and machinery (saws, grinders, drills, press brakes, etc.).
  • Skilled in the use of hand tools and precision measuring equipment for mechanical fitting.
  • Ability to manage time efficiently and meet production deadlines.


TAIT Benefits:
  • Competitive pension scheme with employer contributions
  • Life assurance (4x salary)
  • Medicash health cashback plan (covering dental, optical, and more)
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) with 24/7 support
  • Cycle to Work scheme
