Rotational Mouldings Group Ltd is a well-established manufacturing business operating across three North West sites in Furness Vale, Rochdale and Bradford, specialising in the design and manufacture of high-quality rotationally moulded plastic products. With a long-standing reputation for quality, reliability and innovation, the business continues to invest in its people, facilities and processes. They are now seeking an experienced Steel Fabrication Manager to take responsibility for leading the fabrication operations at their Bradford site.

Reporting directly to the Group Operations Manager, you will take full responsibility for the day-to-day management and performance of the Bradford steel fabrication operation, leading the team to deliver safely, efficiently, on time and within budget. Working across mild steel and stainless-steel fabrication, you will oversee the complete production process including laser cutting, folding, welding, galvanising, painting and the subsequent assembly of fabricated metal items. You will plan and manage workflow, capacity and resources; monitor productivity, quality and costs; support costing and estimating; and work closely with purchasing, suppliers, quality and sales to ensure projects run smoothly from start to finish. You will also drive continuous improvement across the operation, identifying opportunities to increase efficiency, reduce waste and improve performance, while maintaining exceptional standards of health & safety, quality and housekeeping.

To be shortlisted, you will have proven experience managing a steel fabrication environment and a strong practical understanding of fabrication processes, welding and manufacturing techniques, including fabrication design. You will be commercially aware, comfortable with costing, estimating and production control, and confident reading and interpreting engineering drawings. Just as importantly, you will be an engaging and proactive leader who can develop people, create accountability and build a strong, high-performing team. With ambitious plans for future growth and expansion of the Bradford operation, including the potential development of the factory, this role will suit someone with real drive and ambition who wants to do more than simply manage the day-to-day – someone with a proactive, growth mindset who can identify opportunities, challenge how things are done and play a key role in shaping the future of the site.
