Australian Industrial Plastics has been fabricating bespoke plastic products for industrial clients for over 35 years.

Based in Newcastle, we work across water and wastewater, mining, resources, and heavy industry — building custom tanks, piping systems, water treatment equipment, and more. Our work is hands‑on, technically varied, and no two jobs are the same.

We're looking for an experienced Poly Welder or Plastic Fabricator who can step straight into the role. This is primarily a workshop‑based position with some onsite installation work at local client sites.

What you'll need

- Proven experience in PE pipe installation for civil and utilities projects
- Hands‑on experience with butt, electrofusion, and extrusion welding equipment
- Ability to read/interpret isometric drawings and work to tight tolerances
- Relevant certifications in poly welding and extrusion welding of thermoplastics
- NSW OHS Construction Induction Card (White Card)
- Current driver's licence
- Strong understanding of site safety and quality requirements




- Plastic fabrication experience (tanks, vessels, etc.) highly regarded
- Trade qualification in polymer plastics, pipefitting, boilermaking, or a related discipline is advantageous
- NSW WorkCover high risk licences (forklift, EWP, excavator, dogging) are a bonus

What we’re looking for in a person

- Careful, accurate work with consistently high standards
- Good communicator who works well in a team
- Organised and able to manage their own workload
- Practical problem solver
- Positive attitude and attention to detail

What we offer

- Workshop‑based Newcastle role with local site work — no FIFO, no extended time away from home
- Attractive remuneration — rate will reflect your experience
- 9-day fortnight
- Long service leave available at 5 years
- Adaptable work environment
- Relocation assistance considered for the right candidate
