Workshop Engineer - Fitter/Fabricator/Welder

ABOUT US

We have over 50 years’ experience in producing and maintaining dangerous goods tank wagons (fuel tankers) and proven track record of providing quality services and products.

We pride ourselves on our company values and the positive working environment we provide for our team.
