A Manufacturing Fabrication Lead is the go-to person on the shop floor who ensures that metal parts and components are fabricated accurately, efficiently, and safely. Think of them as the bridge between the engineering plans and the team that brings those plans to life.
Here’s what their role typically involves:
Overseeing fabrication operations: They manage daily tasks like cutting, bending, and assembling metal parts, ensuring everything aligns with production schedules.
Leading the team: They supervise fabricators and material handlers, assign tasks, and make sure everyone follows safety and quality standards.
Setting up equipment: From saws to tube benders, they ensure machines are properly set up and operators know how to use them safely and effectively.
Quality control: They inspect parts, verify setups, and ensure all work meets specifications before moving to the next stage.
Inventory and tooling management: They track consumables, report equipment issues, and coordinate with engineering for tooling needs.
Safety enforcement: They make sure all team members wear proper PPE and follow safety protocols to prevent accidents.
In short, they’re part technician, part coach, and part quality enforcer.

Historically within the West Riding of Yorkshire, it is situated on the River Calder,[7] 4 miles (6.4 km) east of Halifax. It is served by Junction 25 of the M62 motorway and Brighouse railway station on the Caldervale Line and Huddersfield Line. In the town centre is a mooring basin on the Calder and Hebble Navigation. The United Kingdom Census 2001 gave the Brighouse / Rastrick subdivision of the West Yorkshire Urban Area a population of 32,360.[8] The Brighouse ward of Calderdale Council gave a population of 11,195 at the 2011 Census.[9] Brighouse has a HD6 postcode.
The name Brighouse (or "Bridge House") originates from a building on (or close to) the bridge over the River Calder. In its early history, it was a hamlet of the nearby village of Rastrick.
Brighouse is twinned with Lüdenscheid in Germany, the link beginning with an exchange by Brighouse Children's Theatre in 1950 followed by a civic twinning charter in 1960.[10
