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.
The East Midlands is one of nine official regions of England at the first level of NUTS for statistical purposes. It consists of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire (except North and North East Lincolnshire), Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland.
The region has an area of 15,627 km2 (6,034 sq mi), with a population over 4.5 million in 2011. The most populous settlements in the region are Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Mansfield, Northampton and Nottingham. Other notable settlements include Boston, Chesterfield, Corby, Grantham, Hinckley, Kettering, Loughborough, Newark-on-Trent, Skegness, Wellingborough, and Worksop.
Relative proximity to London and its position on the national motorway and trunk road networks help the East Midlands to thrive as an economic hub. Nottingham and Leicester are each classified as a sufficiency-level world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network.[2]
The region is primarily served by East Midlands Airport, which lies between Derby, Loughborough and Nottingham.
