Fabricating for Our 100% Green Customer

Watly Engineering Ltd — 28/04/2026

We are reflecting on the fabrication of a piece of equipment we designed to hold slurry for one of our local, valued customers who are 100% green, powered by their own renewable energy!

This pit was primarily MIG welded, showcasing the skill of our team in delivering a robust, high-quality end product.

It’s always rewarding to support customers who share our commitment to sustainable solutions, and this project is a great example of how engineering can support a greener future!

Watly Engineering's Two Metal Fabricator Apprentices

Watly Engineering Ltd — 16/10/2025

We are excited to welcome aboard Euan Macauley, one of our two new workshop apprentices who has joined the Watly team!

Euan is set to immerse himself into the world of stainless steel fabrication, gaining hands-on experience whilst learning from our experienced team both in the workshop and on site.

We’re looking forward to supporting Euan as he takes his first steps of his career in the engineering industry!

Also, a warm welcome to Jess Cornelius-Mullings, another talented workshop apprentice who has recently joined our growing team!

This role involves contributing to a variety of projects, where Jess will develop practical skills and gain valuable industry insight along the way.

We look forward to watching Jess grow in confidence and skill as she contributes to our projects and becomes part of the next generation of engineering talent!

Work Experience at Watly Engineering

Watly Engineering Ltd — 28/05/2026

Last week we really enjoyed welcoming a work experience student from a local school to our team!

It’s been a fantastic opportunity to give them a first-hand look into the world of engineering — from learning about fabrication and design, to seeing how projects can come together on the workshop floor.

Supporting the next generation of engineers is something we’re genuinely passionate about, and it’s great to see young people showing real interest and enthusiasm for the industry!
