Job Description
Welders, Fabricators, Vehicle Body Builders & Handy All-Rounders
n
At Brimarco, we've spent almost 50 years designing and building specialised trailers and vehicles from our Ballarat workshop. Our work falls into two distinct sides.
n
On one, we design and manufacture heavy-duty drop deck widening trailers used across Australia in transport, agriculture and industry. Built to handle demanding real-world conditions, they've earned a strong reputation for durability, reliability and value.
n
On the other, we build highly customised vehicles and trailers used across Australia by government, emergency services and industry - from mobile medical clinics and command centres to libraries, specialist trailers and other one-off units. Every build is different, and our team enjoys turning complex concepts into well-engineered vehicles through hands-on craftsmanship, problem-solving and collaboration.
n
With several exciting projects about to begin and a strong pipeline of work ahead, we're growing our workshop team across both sides of our business - welders and fabricators for our heavy-duty trailer production, and hands-on tradespeople and all-rounders for our custom vehicle builds. We're looking for people who enjoy hands-on work and being part of a skilled team that takes pride in what they create.
n
Whichever side you're suited to, don't rule yourself out on experience alone. Day to day, the work runs from MIG welding and fabrication to assembly, fit-out and installation - building heavy-duty trailers or custom vehicles from engineering drawings through to finished units. We're interested in people from a range of backgrounds:



vehicle body builders, welders, fabricators and boilermakers, tradespeople from related industries, and practical people with strong hands-on skills who are keen to learn. Formal qualifications are welcomed but not essential - reliability, practical ability and pride in your work matter most. We're also open to apprentices, so if you're keen to earn your trade with us, say so.
n
What we're after
n
Above all, good practical skills, reliability, a safety-first attitude, and pride in your work - however you've built those up. You don't need to tick every box below; any of these is a good start, and we'll teach you the rest.
