We are looking for an experienced Metal Fabricator / Welder to join our business in a new full-time position.

This is not a repetitive production welding role.

We operate established demolition and construction businesses and are expanding our in-house fabrication capabilities to support several new products and projects.

The successful applicant will work across a wide variety of fabrication including:

- Prototype and production fabrication of modular pods

- Fabrication of steel locker systems

- Steel chassis and structural frames

- Modular building frames and components

- Hook-lift bin repairs and modifications

- Truck and tipper body repairs

- Plant and equipment repairs

- Cages, stillages and custom steelwork

- General fabrication for our construction and demolition operations

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is more than just a good welder.

You should be an experienced fabricator who can look at a concept, sketch or prototype and work out a practical and cost-effective way to build it.

We want someone who enjoys problem solving and can contribute ideas to improve designs, reduce fabrication time, simplify construction and make products easier to manufacture repeatedly.

Ideally you will have experience with:

- MIG welding

- RHS, SHS and structural steel

- Steel mesh and sheet fabrication

- Cutting, drilling and fabrication equipment

- Building and using fabrication jigs

- Reading drawings and working from dimensions





- Prototype and one-off fabrication

- Repair and modification of existing steelwork

- Accurate measuring, setting out and assembly

A trade qualification in Engineering – Fabrication Trade or similar is preferred, although extensive relevant experience will also be considered.

The Role

This is a new position with considerable variety.

One week you may be fabricating a prototype locker system while the next could involve repairing hook bins, modifying equipment or fabricating components for a modular building.

We are bringing more fabrication in-house and want the successful applicant to become an important part of developing this capability.

There is also an opportunity for the right person to have genuine input into how our new products are designed and manufactured.

What We Value

We are particularly interested in someone who:

- Takes pride in their fabrication and welding

- Can work independently

- Thinks practically

- Is accurate and organised

- Can problem-solve without needing everything drawn for them

- Is comfortable undertaking both new fabrication and repair work

- Can suggest better or more productive ways of manufacturing something

- Wants a stable, long-term position with varied work

If you’re an experienced fabricator who enjoys building, modifying and developing things rather than doing the same weld every day, we’d like to hear from you.
