Welder / Fabricator - Join the Cooler Crew
At Cooler, we build tough, Australian-made refrigerated truck bodies and specialist vehicles for fleet operators across Queensland.
The work is varied. One week you might be fabricating components for a new custom build; the next you could be working on repairs, modifications or fleet upgrades. You will be building finished vehicles that go straight into demanding transport operations, not feeding small parts through a repetitive production line.
We take pride in doing things properly, finding practical solutions and backing each other when the workload is on.

The Role
We're looking for an experienced
Welder / Fabricator
who can work confidently with both aluminium and steel.
You do not need experience with refrigerated truck bodies. What matters is that you can weld and fabricate accurately, read drawings, solve practical problems and take pride in the finished product.
This role suits someone who enjoys variety, works well with others and can be trusted to keep standards high without needing someone looking over their shoulder.

MIG and TIG welding of aluminium, mild steel and stainless steel
Fabricating and assembling truck body components from drawings and measurements

Confidence working with aluminium and steel
Experience reading drawings and fabricating to specification
A good eye for fit, finish and weld quality
Practical problem-solving skills
The ability to work independently and as part of a crew
Reliability, a strong work ethic and a willingness to help others
Pride in producing work that will still look good and perform properly years later
A trade qualification in fabrication, welding, boilermaking or a related field is valued, but proven skill and experience matter most.
Experience in truck bodies, trailers, vehicle fit-outs, sheet metal, marine fabrication or similar custom work would be highly regarded.
Why Join Cooler?
Competitive hourly rate based on your skills and experience
Regular, stable full-time work
Genuine variety rather than repetitive production welding
Large custom projects with visible finished results
Work with aluminium, steel and a broad range of fabrication methods
Supportive leaders who trust capable people to get on with the job
Opportunities to broaden your skills and take on greater responsibility

Cooler is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome people who bring the right skills, attitude and commitment to the crew.
