Leading Hand Boilermaker

$55/hr + OT | 90% Hands-On | Lead a Crew of Five

Want more responsibility without getting dragged off the tools?

We're looking for an experienced Leading Hand Boilermaker to take ownership of day-to-day workshop builds while remaining heavily involved in fabrication and welding.

This is not a desk-based Workshop Manager role.

You’ll spend around 90% of your time on the tools, working alongside the team, with the balance focused on allocating builds, coordinating workflow and keeping production moving.

The Role

You’ll lead a small workshop team of approximately five people and take responsibility for how builds move through the floor.

Your day will include:
Hands-on fabrication and welding
Reading and interpreting detailed fabrication drawings
Allocating work across the workshop team
Delegating individual builds and priorities
Keeping jobs moving against production deadlines
Supporting tradespeople with technical issues
Monitoring quality and workmanship
Identifying issues before they impact production
Working closely with management around workflow and priorities




Maintaining robust workshop safety standards

About You

We're looking for someone who is technically strong, practical and comfortable taking the lead on the floor.

You’ll ideally bring:
Trade qualification as a Boilermaker / Fabricator
Strong structural steel or heavy fabrication experience
Confident drawing interpretation skills
Robust welding and fabrication capability
Leading Hand, Senior Boilermaker or supervisory experience
Experience coordinating or directing a small team
Positive understanding of workshop workflow and build sequencing
A hands-on leadership style

You do not need to be an experienced Workshop Manager.

This role could suit an existing Leading Hand or a Senior Boilermaker ready to step up without stepping away from the tools.

What's On Offer
$55 per hour
Overtime available
Full-time ongoing opportunity
Approximately 90% hands-on
Lead a team of around five
Genuine ownership of workshop builds and workflow
Varied fabrication work
Stable workshop environment
Opportunity to step into leadership without moving into an office-based role
