We are looking for an experienced Metal Fabricator / Welder to join our business in a new full-time position.

This is not a repetitive production welding role.

We operate established demolition and construction businesses and are expanding our in-house fabrication capabilities to support several new products and projects.

The successful applicant will work across a wide variety of fabrication including:

Prototype and production fabrication of modular pods

Fabrication of steel locker systems

Steel chassis and structural frames

Modular building frames and components

Hook-lift bin repairs and modifications

Truck and tipper body repairs

Plant and equipment repairs

Cages, stillages and custom steelwork

General fabrication for our construction and demolition operations

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is more than just a good welder.

You should be an experienced fabricator who can look at a concept, sketch or prototype and work out a practical and cost-effective way to build it.

We want someone who enjoys problem solving and can contribute ideas to improve designs, reduce fabrication time, simplify construction and make products easier to manufacture repeatedly.

Ideally you will have experience with:

MIG welding

RHS, SHS and structural steel

Steel mesh and sheet fabrication

Cutting, drilling and fabrication equipment

Building and using fabrication jigs

Reading drawings and working from dimensions

Prototype and one-off fabrication

Repair and modification of existing steelwork

Accurate measuring, setting out and assembly

A trade qualification in Engineering – Fabrication Trade or similar is preferred, although extensive relevant experience will also be considered.

The Role

This is a new position with considerable variety.

One week you may be fabricating a prototype locker system while the next could involve repairing hook bins, modifying equipment or fabricating components for a modular building.

We are bringing more fabrication in-house and want the successful applicant to become an important part of developing this capability.

There is also an opportunity for the right person to have genuine input into how our new products are designed and manufactured.

What We Value

We are particularly interested in someone who:

Takes pride in their fabrication and welding

Can work independently

Thinks practically

Is accurate and organised

Can problem-solve without needing everything drawn for them

Is comfortable undertaking both new fabrication and repair work

Can suggest better or more efficient ways of manufacturing something

Wants a stable, long-term position with varied work

If you’re an experienced fabricator who enjoys building, modifying and developing things rather than doing the same weld every day, we’d like to hear from you.
