Who We're Looking For
n
We're looking for someone who is more than just a good welder.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Ideally you will have experience with:
n

n
A trade qualification in Engineering – Fabrication Trade or similar is preferred, although extensive relevant experience will also be considered.
n
The Role
n
This is a new position with considerable variety.
n
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.
n
We are bringing more fabrication in-house and want the successful applicant to become an important part of developing this capability.
n
There is also an opportunity for the right person to have genuine input into how our new products are designed and manufactured.
n
What We Value
n
We are particularly interested in someone who:
n
Takes pride in their fabrication and welding
n
Can work independently
n
Thinks practically
n
Is accurate and organised
n
Can problem-solve without needing everything drawn for them
n
Is comfortable undertaking both new fabrication and repair work
n
Can suggest better or more efficient ways of manufacturing something
n
Wants a stable, long-term position with varied work
n
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.
n
