Job description

Blocktech MEP are looking on behalf of their client for a Welders Mate for a permanent position working on District heating projects across the UK.

The ideal candidate will have previous construction site experience and be looking to forge a career. This is a great opportunity to join a company and learn a trade both on the job and with training provided. Many of the previous welders working for this client have come through the system in this way.

This role will be supporting the senior welder working alongside a 'Pre-insulated Pipe Installer' on construction sites all around the UK installing buried pre-insulated steel and plastic pipes.

Necessary requirements and attributes for the successful candidate:

1. Adhere to the company health, safety and environmental procedures.
2. Find a problem or issue as a challenge to overcome and learn.
3. Looking to build a career and grow with a Company, not just looking for a job.
4. Able to represent and be an ambassador for the Company by maintaining good client and customer relationships by taking pride and having a good work ethic.
5. Able to pass an advanced DBS check.

Our client is a specialist supplier and installer of pre-insulated heating and cooling distribution pipes. They undertake all manner of project types, including district heating, community heating, and combined heat and power (CHP) projects, ranging from large scale CHP biomass heating to short runs across school playgrounds. Previous projects include airports, chemical processes, hospitals, hotels, MOD, and local authority district heating.

As you are required to travel across the UK, hotels will be paid for, and a fair food allowance will be granted whilst over a certain distance from your base location.
