We are a growing fabrication workshop looking for an experienced Leading Hand/Fabricator to join our team.

This role is ideal for an experienced fabricator who has developed strong trade skills and is now ready to take the next step in their career. If you're looking to move beyond a purely fabrication-focused position and into a leadership role, this could be the opportunity for you.

This is a hands-on position that combines both fabrication and supervisory responsibilities. You'll continue working on the tools alongside the team while also helping to coordinate workflow, maintain quality standards, and support day-to-day workshop operations.

We are looking for someone who enjoys leading by example—not just supervising from the sidelines. You’ll play a key role in ensuring jobs are completed safely, efficiently, and to a high standard while mentoring and supporting other team members.

Reading and interpreting drawings
Welding and fabricating as part of the day-to-day workload

What We’re Looking For
Previous experience in a supervisory or leading hand role
Certificate in III in Engineering – Fabrication
Solid welding and fabrication experience
Ability to read and work from fabrication drawings
High attention to detail and quality control
Valuable time management and organisational skills
Reliable, hardworking, and able to lead by example
Forklift ticket (preferred but not essential)

What We Offer
Full time stable position
Supportive small workshop environment
Variety of fabrication work
Work on quality Australian-made products you can be proud of

If you take pride in your work and want to be part of a solid team where your experience is valued, we’d love to hear from you.
