Stainless Steel Fabricator / TIG Welder davco winch systems•Surfers Paradise, Queensland, Australia

Tired of the standard 5-day grind? Get your weekend back.

Forget repetitive production lines and basic sheet metal work. At Davco Winch, we build high-end, heavy-duty marine equipment where flawless aesthetics meet structural integrity. We value our team’s time, which is why we operate on a compressed 4-day work week—giving you a dedicated 3-day weekend, every single week, while maintaining full-time hours.

If you are a trade-qualified fabricator who treats 316 stainless like an art form and wants a better lifestyle balance on the Coast, this is the workshop you’ve been looking for.

What’s on Offer

- Lifestyle First (4-Day Week): Enjoy a genuine 3-day weekend every week. Work hard for 4 days, then completely switch off.

- Premium Projects: Fabricate custom, heavy-duty marine hardware (davits, winches, hydraulic platforms) for luxury vessels where precision and visual finish truly matter.

- Excellent Working Conditions: Clean, well-equipped, and modern manufacturing facility with a tight-knit, professional team.

- Stability & Security: A permanent, secure role with an industry-leading business and a massive, ongoing pipeline of work.

The Role

Working on the workshop floor,



you will be responsible for bringing our custom marine designs to life. Your day-to-day will include:

- Reading and interpreting structural drawings and workshop blueprints.

- High-precision TIG welding and fabrication of 316 stainless steel components and heavy marine structures.

- Operating workshop machinery for cutting, folding, and preparing materials.

- Finishing, blending, and polishing stainless steel to a flawless, mirror-like marine standard.

- Collaborating with the broader manufacturing team to ensure precision fitment.

What We Are Looking For

- Trade Qualification: Cert III in Engineering (Fabrication / Mechanical Trade) or equivalent proven trade experience.

- Marine-Grade Expertise: Demonstrated experience in high-quality TIG welding and fabrication, ideally working with 316 stainless steel (experience with marine-grade aluminum is a solid advantage).

- Technical Literacy: Ability to read engineered drawings accurately and work autonomously with minimal supervision.

- The "Marine Finish" Eye: Exceptional attention to detail, recognising that our products go onto luxury vessels where aesthetics is just as important as structural integrity.

- Team Player: A reliable, proactive work ethic with a strong commitment to workshop safety and quality control.
