Job Description

Join the Team That Welds the Future of Space

This is more than welding.
This is precision electron beam welding for components that must survive extreme conditions, power critical missions, and enable aerospace and defence projects that push the boundaries of technology.

Join an EBW team produces high-integrity, mission-critical parts used by international space agencies, defence organisations, and top-tier commercial programmes. The components you craft will play a direct role in projects that make a real-world impact where precision meets purpose.

You will operate, maintain, and optimise cutting-edge EBW machines in a cleanroom environment, ensuring every weld is flawless. Your skill and attention to detail will shape assemblies that perform under pressure because in this role, perfection is the only option.

With demand for world-class welding expertise soaring, our client's team is growing -this is your chance to join a collaborative, innovation-driven environment where your talent is recognised, developed, and celebrated.

THE ROLE: Spacecraft Welder Technician

This is a unique opportunity to use your welding expertise on mission-critical space hardware.

As an Welder Technician, you will operate advanced welding systems within our cleanroom facility, producing ultra-precise welds on metals and super alloys that must perform flawlessly in space.
Your work will directly support propulsion systems used in major international missions.

If you thrive on precision, enjoy solving technical challenges and want your work to become part of history-making spacecraft THEN this role is for YOU.

What You'll Be Doing

Operating, monitoring and maintaining welding machinery for high-precision aerospace components Preparing, aligning and inspecting materials to tight spaceflight specifications Conducting visual, mechanical and non-destructive testing (NDT) on welds Troubleshooting welding equipment issues and performing routine maintenance Documenting weld processes, materials, settings and quality data Working closely with engineering, production and QA teams Ensuring full compliance with safety and high-voltage equipment procedures Safely handling acids during weld sample evaluation Contributing to the smooth integration of welding within the wider manufacturing process
Why This Role Matters

Every weld you complete may become part of a thruster or propulsion system that:

? Steers a spacecraft into precise orbit
? Corrects course millions of kilometres from Earth
? Operates reliably in extreme temperatures and vacuum
? Enables satellite networks, deep-space exploration and scientific discovery

Your precision directly influences mission success.
Your craftsmanship becomes part of spaceflight history.

This is engineering with purpose.

What You'll Need

Strong understanding of welding, beneficial if electro beam welding or tig welding Experience with cleanroom assembly or integration Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings Proficiency with precision measuring equipment Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills Flexibility to meet shifting and ambitious project timelines
Work Environment Requirements

Ability to work in cleanrooms, test facilities and high-hazard areas Manual handling Ladder climbing Kneeling, bending, crouching, walking Working at height Working indoors/outdoors in all weather conditions Comfortable with high-noise environments (hearing protection provided) Working around chemicals, solvents, lubricants, paints and cleaning fluids Occasional night shifts, weekends and holiday work
What We Offer

Competitive salary 5% matched pension Private health & dental care EV scheme (post-probation) Life assurance Enhanced sick pay 24/7 well-being support programme Free on-site parking Cycle to work scheme Employee discount platform Training & development in cutting-edge space technologies
You'll join a workplace where innovation is encouraged, precision is celebrated, and your impact reaches far beyond Earth.
