About the Opportunity

Simon Acres Recruitment is working in partnership with an established business within the specialist manufacturing sector to recruit a Solid Surface Fabricator.

This is an opportunity to join a skilled team producing bespoke solid-surface products for a variety of residential and commercial environments. The successful candidate will be involved in transforming raw materials into finished products, including kitchen worktops, bathroom surfaces, reception desks, vanity units and other made-to-measure installations.

The client is keen to hear from both experienced fabricators and practical, motivated individuals looking to develop a career in this specialist trade. Full consideration will be given to candidates with the right attitude and aptitude, with training available for those entering the industry.

The Role

Working within the fabrication team, your duties will include:

• Using technical plans and measurements to plan and prepare materials for production.

• Cutting and shaping solid-surface materials to meet individual project requirements.

• Operating a range of workshop equipment, including routers, saws, sanders and associated machinery.

• Joining and bonding materials, ensuring neat, consistent and virtually seamless results.

• Creating bespoke finishes, including shaped edges, cut-outs, curves and upstands.

• Undertaking heat-forming processes where required.

• Completing sanding, polishing and finishing work to achieve a professional standard.

• Inspecting completed work to ensure accuracy and quality.

• Supporting the resolution of any technical or production challenges.

• Keeping workshop equipment in good condition and maintaining a safe, tidy working environment.

• Working collaboratively with colleagues to meet production schedules and customer deadlines.

• Following all relevant workplace safety procedures.

What We're Looking For

The client is interested in individuals who demonstrate practical ability, attention to detail and a genuine interest in producing high-quality work.

Ideally, you will have:

• Experience in solid-surface work, woodworking, joinery, cabinetmaking or a related manufacturing environment.

• An understanding of working with materials and producing accurate, quality finishes.

• Familiarity with workshop tools and machinery.

• The ability to interpret measurements, plans and technical information.

• A methodical approach with good attention to detail.

• A practical mindset and the ability to find solutions to problems.

• Good organisation and the ability to manage workloads effectively.

• The confidence to work independently while contributing positively to a team.

• The physical capability to handle materials and finished components safely.

Previous experience of fitting or installing products at customer sites would be beneficial, as would holding a full UK driving licence.

No direct solid-surface fabrication experience? Applications are also welcomed from trainee candidates with relevant practical skills, a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.

Salary and Benefits

• Annual salary of £25,000–£35,000, depending on experience and ability.

• Opportunities for training and progression within the trade.

• Exposure to a range of interesting, bespoke manufacturing projects.

• Supportive and collaborative working environment.

• Additional company benefits, subject to employment terms.

Whether you are an established fabricator or looking to take your first steps into the industry, this is an opportunity to develop your skills and build a career within a specialist manufacturing business.
