About Synchrotech

Since 1985, Synchrotech Controls has been delivering customised generator and power control solutions across Australia. From our purpose-built facilities in Brisbane’s north, we design, manufacture, and test complete turn-key power systems.

As a Boilermaker/Welder at Synchrotech, your work would revolve around fabricating generator enclosures, skids, structural frames, piping systems, and fuel handling equipment, often for large-scale power stations, Defence bases, and oil & gas projects. You can expect a mix of structural steel welding, stainless steel TIG/MIG work, and pressure-rated pipe fabrication, with projects ranging from mobile trailer-mounted gensets to multi-megawatt packaged gas power stations.

If you’re early in your career, eager to develop your skills, and want a stable role with long-term prospects, this is your chance! We are proud to be a part of the CV Group, which offers more opportunities for growth and development.

What We Offer

$30–$40/hr depending on experience

9-day fortnight

No weekend work required

Opportunities for occasional site installation and travel

Ongoing skills development in a supportive team environment

Working closely with our Workshop Foreman and Project Engineer, you’ll deliver high-quality fabricated products. Your day-to-day work will include:

Fabrication & Welding

Building generator and power plant enclosures (from small 20kVA units to multi-megawatt systems)

Mostly workshop-based: welding, cutting, assembly at our Northgate facility under ISO 9001 systems

Occasional site work: assisting with installation and commissioning (1–2 times per year, 2–4 week blocks)

What We’re Looking For

Certificate III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade

White Card (general construction induction)

Strong work ethic, reliability, and attention to detail

Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings

Flexibility to take on new tasks and work independently
