The Opportunity: Next-Gen Mechanical Engineering

This is not a "churn and burn" production workshop. You will join a highly specialised fabrication crew, working directly from complex blueprints and 3D models to build the heavy-duty steel skeletons that form the heart of these giant creatures.

Because these systems move and perform in safety-critical environments, every weld must pass rigorous non-destructive testing (including X-ray and ultrasonic inspection).



You'll collaborate closely with mechanical engineers and master makers to bring 3-year long projects to life, with potential opportunities to support onsite installations globally down the track.

The Collective Perks:

- Pay Rate: $45 - $50 per hour + Super (Day shift, rate decided by your practical skill).

- Elite Upskilling: They will completely fund and support you to pass your AWS (American Welding Society) / 6GR positional qualifications - a $25,000 investment in your trade skills.

- Global Exposure: Unique potential for international travel to support the installation of finished builds.

- Genuine Balance: A strict 38-hour week with little OT. Flexible starts (6:30 AM or 7:30 AM ) mean you finish early.

- Unbeatable Culture: Casual dress, on-site gym, vibrant creative spaces, and a diverse workplace where tradespeople are highly respected.

What You Will Do:

- Fabricate high-precision, multi-tonne steel structures using MIG, TIG, and ARC (GMAW, GMAW-S, GTAW) processes.

- Execute flawless Positional and Procedural welding to stringent international standards.

- Read and work accurately from highly complex, multi-layered engineering drawings and weld maps.

- Build custom jigs and fixtures to eliminate distortion and maintain millimetre-perfect tolerances.

- Utilise workshop equipment (lathes/mills) and support the final mechanical fit-up and assembly.

What You Bring:

- The Trade: Cert III Qualification in Fabrication, Welding, or Machining.

- The Expertise: Strong background in high-standard steel fabrication (experience in Maritime, Oil & Gas, Pressure Vessels, Aerospace, or Heavy Machinery translates perfectly).

- The Drive: A true willingness to train toward and crush an external 6GR weld qualification.

- The Test: Confidence to showcase your skill in a practical pipe and box weld test during the interview.
