We are looking for an experienced and highly organised Progress Chaser to join our workshop team within the structural steel and mezzanine flooring industry.

This is not a purely administrative role. We are seeking someone with hands-on industry experience who understands steel fabrication, workshop operations, and production requirements. Your key responsibility will be ensuring the workshop has everything needed to keep projects moving, including materials, components, fixings, drawings, and deliveries.

Key Responsibilities

• Monitor workshop requirements and ensure materials are available when needed.
• Chase outstanding steel, materials, fixings, stairs, and other project-related items.
• Liaise with suppliers and internal teams regarding deliveries and shortages.
• Monitor lead times and identify potential delays before they impact production.
• Check incoming materials and report discrepancies or shortages.
• Keep accurate records of orders, deliveries, and outstanding items.
• Work closely with the workshop team to understand upcoming requirements.
• Assist with stock control and replenishment.
• Communicate any issues that could affect production schedules.
• Help ensure projects are completed efficiently and on time.

What We're Looking For

• Experience within a structural steelwork, steel fabrication, engineering, or mezzanine flooring environment.
• Good understanding of steel sections, fabrication processes, and workshop production requirements.
• Ability to read and understand technical drawings and material specifications.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Confident communicator with suppliers, workshop staff, and management.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Proactive approach with the ability to identify problems before they affect production.

Why Apply?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing business where you can play a key role in keeping workshop operations running smoothly. If you understand steel fabrication and mezzanine flooring, we'd love to hear from you.
