Varied Work for a Company that Cares

While we are always looking for new recruits, we are also pleased to welcome returners back to the pack. Dru recently re-joined Universal Wolf having left to start a new job closer to home. For him, the most important thing was having varied and challenging work to keep his mind active, and to continue to develop his skills within a company that cares.

Dru says:

“I left Universal Wolf for a job with less travel and more money but found the work incredibly monotonous, and I felt myself starting to stagnate. I left Universal Wolf on good terms and, pride aside, had no issue with approaching the business about returning. The people here are great and easy to get on with, the company looks after you, and the work is varied. Returning was absolutely the right decision for me.”

Melanie Stewart, Welding & Fabrication Lead

Melanie Stewart is our Welding and Fabrication Lead. She is responsible for maintaining industrial and quality welding standards; driving improvements in our welding processes and the training that goes with them. She is also heavily involved in Continuous Improvement across the business, with a focus on welding and fabrication.
