STRUCTURAL STEEL FABRICATION APPRENTICE (2ND YEAR)

Location: Seaford, VIC

Company: Milkon Steel

Milkon Steel is growing and we're looking for a 2nd year Structural Steel Fabrication Apprentice to join the workshop.

This is perfect for someone who’s already started their fabrication/boilermaker apprenticeship, knows their way around a workshop, and wants proper exposure to commercial structural steel — not just brackets and handrails.

ABOUT US

Milkon Steel is a structural steel fabrication and install company based in Seaford. We build real projects: warehouses, schools, tilt-up builds, mixed-use developments. You’ll work with experienced boilermakers, site crews and project supervisors who actually care about getting you qualified and competent on the tools.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

- Fabrication of structural steel (UBs, PFCs, SHS, base plates, cleats etc.)

- Reading and working from shop drawings / setout marks

- Cutting, drilling, grinding and prepping components

- MIG welding / FCAW under supervision and to spec

- Using overhead crane / lifting gear safely in the workshop

- Assisting with fit-up and assembly of frames and assemblies

- Basic QC: stamping, tagging, checking measurements before dispatch





- Loading trucks and helping get gear ready for site installs

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- You’re currently a 2nd year apprentice in Engineering Fabrication (Boilermaker / Heavy Steel)

- You can weld, tack, and use basic fabrication tools safely

- You can read a tape properly (to the mm) and aren’t guessing

- You turn up on time and don’t disappear when it’s clean-up time

- White Card or willing to get one

- Forklift / dogging / overhead crane tickets are a bonus (not required)

WHAT YOU GET
- Full time role with overtime opportunities

- Pay in line with award + penalties + super

- Real structural steel experience (CC2-level work, not just gates and trays)

- Clear pathway to continue your apprenticeship through to trade qualification

- Proper supervision and support from senior fabricators

- Stable hours in a busy workshop in Seaford (no long city commute)

THIS ROLE WOULD SUIT
- Someone who started an apprenticeship somewhere else and isn't getting looked after / not getting real steel experience

- Someone who wants long-term trade work in structural steel, not just “a job”
