ABOUT THE COMPANY

GB Steel is a forward-thinking engineering company based in Wednesbury. We build and fabricate steel-based products — including pallets — and pride ourselves on consistent quality and dependable service. We’re a small, practical team where people work hard, look out for each other, and take pride in doing a job properly. As we grow, we’re looking for leaders who share those values and want to grow with us.

THIS ROLE IN ONE SENTENCE

Lead and manage our welding team, keeping the factory running smoothly, safely, and efficiently while making sure every job is delivered to the highest standard.

THIS ROLE IN ONE MINUTE

GB Steel is looking for a Factory Manager to take charge of our welding and fabrication operations. You’ll oversee a small but growing team of welders, making sure work is planned, quality-checked, and delivered on time. This is a hands-on leadership role — you’ll be on the floor with the team as much as you’re managing them. If you’ve got welding and fabrication experience, strong people management skills, and the drive to get the best out of a team, this is your chance to step up and take ownership of the factory floor.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Factory Manager, you’ll:

• Manage, support, and develop a team of welders and fabricators
• Plan and oversee daily workloads to ensure jobs are completed on time
• Keep quality standards high through checks, guidance, and feedback
• Monitor health & safety, keeping the shop floor safe and compliant
• Lead from the front, working alongside the team when needed
• Spot opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and raise standards
