About Cory
Cory is one of the UK’s leading resource management, recycling, and energy recovery companies. We use the River Thames as a green highway, saving around 100,000 truck movements a year – a vital way of getting traffic off the road and making London safer and less polluted. As a river-based business, we are proud to support the growth of the Thames economy and the wider inland waterways sector.
About the Role
As a Plater/Welder at Cory, you’ll play a hands-on role in maintaining and repairing the vessels that keep London’s waste moving by river. Working as part of our Ship Repair Services team, you’ll support both in-house operations and third-party customers, helping ensure our fleet of tugs, barges, and containers remains safe, compliant, and reliable.
This is a varied, practical role where no two days are the same. From fabricating steel barge and vessel sections to carrying out emergency repairs and salvage work, your skills will be used across a wide range of engineering challenges. You’ll also support yard activities, vessel movements in and out of slipways, and the general upkeep of our Gravesend site. While based at Gravesend, you’ll occasionally be asked to work at other sites, typically our Charlton location. Safety and environmental responsibility sit at the heart of everything we do. You’ll work in full compliance with international, national, and company legislation, take part in emergency exercises, and help ensure Cory’s high standards are met every day.
