What We're Looking For

  • Confident with power tools, general fabrication, and working to technical drawings

  • A strong eye for detail, pride in your work, and a safe, methodical approach

  • Organised, reliable, and able to work independently and as part of a team

  • Willingness to share skills and support others in the workshop
