Manufacturing Fabrication Lead
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.
Cambridgeshire (abbreviated Cambs.)[note 1] is a county in the East of England, bordering Lincolnshire to the north, Norfolk to the north-east, Suffolk to the east, Essex and Hertfordshire to the south, and Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire to the west. The city of Cambridge is the county town. Modern Cambridgeshire was formed in 1974 through the amalgamation of two older counties: Cambridgeshire and Isle of Ely, comprising the historic county of Cambridgeshire (including the Isle of Ely); and Huntingdon and Peterborough, comprising the historic county of Huntingdonshire and the Soke of Peterborough, which historically had been part of Northamptonshire. Cambridgeshire contains most of the region known as Silicon Fen.
The county is now divided between Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council, which since 1998 has formed a separate unitary authority. In the county there are five district councils, Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, Fenland District Council, Huntingdonshire District Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council.[4]
