Why choose Hart Marine?

- Be part of a friendly, down-to-earth team where everyone works together.

- Supportive management who value skilled tradespeople and quality workmanship.

- Above award pay rates.

- Uniforms provided.

- Regular team BBQs and social events.

- A strong commitment to workplace health and safety.

- Stable, ongoing work with a well-established Australian boat builder.

What you’ll be doing

As part of our boat building team, you’ll be involved in the fabrication and welding of a variety of stainless steel and aluminium components used throughout our vessels.

Your duties may include:

- Fabricating and welding stainless steel and aluminium components.

- Manufacturing handrails, frames, brackets, supports and other custom marine components.

- Reading and interpreting drawings, plans and fabrication specifications.

- Measuring, cutting, bending, fitting and assembling metal components.

- Using workshop machinery, power tools and hand tools.





- Carrying out fabrication and fit-up work directly on vessels.

- Working closely with our boat builders, engineers and production team.

- Strong attention to detail and pride in your workmanship.

- Good measuring, fabrication and problem-solving skills.

- The ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

- A positive attitude and willingness to get involved in a variety of projects.

If you enjoy quality fabrication work, want some variety in your day and like the idea of seeing your work become part of a finished vessel, we’d love to hear from you.
