WORK WITH US IN ORKNEY

August 31, 2026
WORKSHOP SUPERVISOR / FOREMAN

Orkney | Join our growing team

Looking for a change of pace, a better quality of life and the opportunity to put your skills to work across a diverse range of industries?

Ocean Kinetics is looking for an experienced Workshop Supervisor/Foreman to join our team in Orkney.

Working with clients across some of the islands’ key industries – from aquaculture and fishing to renewable energy, whisky and agriculture – no two projects are quite the same. It’s a role that offers the opportunity to work across the company, take responsibility for a varied range of projects and play an important part in developing the next generation of skilled workers.

What we’re looking for:

  • Proven experience in fabrication and/or welding (coding qualifications would be beneficial)
  • Strong workshop and site-based experience
  • Good leadership, organisational and problem-solving skills
  • Experience mentoring and training apprentices
  • The ability to work confidently both independently and as part of a team
  • A practical, can-do approach and pride in delivering quality work
  • The right to work in the UK.

 

Why Orkney?

Orkney offers something that’s increasingly hard to find – a great place to build a career without compromising on quality of life. Stunning scenery, a strong community, easy access to the outdoors, and a pace of life that makes your time away from work particularly enjoyable.

If you are an experienced fabricator or welder ready for your next challenge, and would like to combine a rewarding career with life in one of Scotland’s most desirable island communities, we would love to hear from you.

(A relocation package is included).
