This job requires extremely experienced and talented Fabricators. You must have or be:

• Must be a competent Fabricators. Do not apply if you lack the experience.
• Minimum 5 years experience. Do not apply if you have less, you're time will come.
• Have a smart phone that you can use and an email address that isn't at capacity. A large element of 'surviving' in the UK requires use of a Smartphone.
• A Completely Clean Police Record (COC). You will not pass the security clearance without it. The government will find out and you'll waste everyone's time if you lie. You categorically will not get the job. Also needed for trade test, receipts are not acceptable.
• Training Certificates (Not ASME Codes, they're not recognised in the UK). We need your YTEPP, NESC or similar training certificate. If you do not have them, you will need to apply to NESC or YTEPP for a PLAR assessment.
• Resume. Must be up to date. Must not be a scanned image. Must be editable so we can redact personal information.
• If your CV only has job titles for each experience, you need to add more. You must expand on what you were working on, what project you were on, what types bends, conditions, what types of materials, what dimension/diameter of materials, achievements. Remember, everyone in Trinidad knows other Trinidadians, people in the UK have no idea who you are. This is your one chance to stand out and it's on a resume. Anyone who sends in a CV with just a job title 'Welder' for experience and nothing else will be disqualified.
• Do not share your passport scans with us, do not put your passport number in the CV.
• Work History - must be up to date and accurate. Gaps need to be accounted for. Everything needs to be dated from and to. Any Resume without dates will be disqualified. It's a requirement for the security checking.
• References. Must be real, they will be checked by the UK Police force for security checking. We will also be running reference checking which will utilise I.P checks to identify fraud.

The above might be straight to the point, but there is reason to be. The paperwork must be thorough. No exceptions. Some of the projects require Counter Terrorism Clearance, they will leave no stone unturned, and neither should you if you wish to get the job.

This is the job of a lifetime, in a world where immigration rules are tightening and overseas work is becoming harder and harder, and Visas are becoming more and more expensive. The UK Visa is the most expensive in the world, hence why only the best candidates will be tested, and potentially offered work.
