Welder / Fabricator Job Description – Salford Quays
Workers-Direct is partnering with leading manufacturing, engineering, and construction firms in the Salford Quays M50 region to source proficient Welders and Metal Fabricators. Our clients require reliable, skilled tradespeople to join their teams on an immediate basis, working on a variety of projects from structural steelwork and architectural metalwork to bespoke fabrication and repair. This is a prime opportunity for those seeking immediate start jobs in Manchester with the potential for long-term engagement.
As a specialist construction and industrial staffing agency, we understand the precise skills local employers need. Whether you're a time-served fabricator or a coded welder with specific certifications, registering with us opens doors to numerous temporary and temp-to-perm roles across Salford and Trafford Park. We handle the admin, ensure you get paid weekly, and match you with companies that value your expertise, much like we do for roles such as Construction Jobs in Liverpool or Warehouse Jobs in Luton.
Your Day-to-Day Duties
- Reading and interpreting engineering drawings, schematics, and technical specifications to plan fabrication and welding sequences.
- Performing high-quality welding using appropriate processes (MIG, TIG, MMA, Flux-Cored) on various materials including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium.
- Operating fabrication machinery such as guillotines, press brakes, rollers, and saws to cut, shape, and form metal components to precise tolerances.
- Conducting pre- and post-weld inspections, including visual checks and basic measurement, ensuring work meets quality standards and client requirements.
- Maintaining a clean, safe, and organised workspace, adhering strictly to all Health & Safety regulations, including COSHH and risk assessments.

- Technical Proficiency: Ability to read technical drawings, use measurement tools (micrometers, verniers), and operate standard workshop machinery safely.
- Safety-First Mindset: Must own and use appropriate PPE. Awareness of current H&S legislation is crucial. CSCS Card is desirable but not always essential.

Frequently Asked Questions (Welder Jobs Salford Quays)
Currently, the highest demand in the Salford Quays M50 area is for MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welders, particularly for mild steel fabrication in manufacturing and structural work. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding skills for stainless steel and aluminium are also highly sought after, especially in precision engineering and food-grade fabrication. Some roles may require specific coded welding certifications (e.g., BS EN ISO 9606). During registration, we assess your specific proficiencies to match you with the most suitable clients.
All major welding equipment (welders, gas bottles, extraction) and standard workshop machinery are provided by the client. However, you are required to provide your own basic Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This typically includes a welding helmet/visor, fire-retardant overalls or jacket, welding gloves, and safety boots. Some specialised PPE may be provided for specific tasks. Bringing your own well-fitted, quality PPE is essential for your safety and demonstrates professionalism.
Absolutely. Many of our clients use temporary placements as an extended interview process. A significant proportion of our Welder/Fabricator assignments transition to permanent contracts for reliable, skilled workers. We specialise in temporary to permanent jobs. Your performance, attitude, and reliability during the temporary period are key factors. We will actively communicate with both you and the client to facilitate a smooth transition if both parties are interested.
As a multi-sector agency, we recruit for a wide range of skilled trade and industrial roles across Manchester. Alongside Welders and Fabricators, we frequently have demand for CNC Operatives, Sheet Metal Workers, Pipe Fitters, and General Fabricators. We also place professionals in other high-demand sectors; for example, we help find Cleaning Jobs in Leeds, Courier Drivers across the UK, Nursing Assistants for healthcare settings, and Night Porter positions in hospitality. Registering with us gives you access to this entire network of opportunities.
