The Role
We're looking for an experienced Welder & Container Modification All-Rounder to join our Hemmant workshop team.
MIG welding and fabrication will be a major part of your role, but the job covers the complete modification process.

Fabricating and installing frames, supports, brackets and reinforcements
Repairing damaged steel, doors, floors and container components

Installing EPS insulation panels and completing internal panel work
Completing sealing, silicone and weatherproofing work
Assisting with flooring, painting and finishing as required
Working across projects from initial fabrication through to final completion

Checking your own work before considering the job finished

Formal trade qualifications are welcome but not essential.
Demonstrated skill, experience and the quality of your work matter most to us.
Experience in container modifications, carpentry, panel installation, door and window fitting, painting, sealing or general construction will be highly regarded.
What We Offer
A secure, full-time role with a growing Queensland business
Diverse projects with genuine variety from one build to the next
The opportunity to expand your fabrication and modification skills
