Workshop Supervisor (Boilermaker) - Structural Steel
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established structural steel company delivering Tier 2 new build construction projects across Sydney's CBD and western suburbs.
With a solid pipeline of work ahead, they're looking for an experienced Workshop Supervisor to lead their Smithfield workshop full-time, on an ongoing basis.
About the role You'll run the day-to-day floor of a busy structural steel workshop - supervising a team of boilermakers and tradespeople, managing fabrication schedules, and ensuring every piece leaving the workshop is built to spec and ready for site.
This is a hands-on leadership role: you'll need to be across the tools yourself as much as you're managing the team around you.
What you'll be doing
Supervising and coordinating workshop staff, including boilermakers, welders and fabricators
Reading and working from structural drawings and shop details to plan fabrication sequencing
Managing workshop scheduling to hit fabrication deadlines aligned with site delivery programs




Maintaining quality control across welding, fabrication and finishing to relevant Australian Standards
Overseeing workshop WHS, housekeeping and equipment maintenance
Liaising with project managers and site teams on fabrication progress, delivery timing and any design/documentation queries
Managing materials, consumables and equipment ordering for the workshop
What we're looking for
Trade-qualified Boilermaker (essential)
Proven experience in structural steel fabrication, ideally within Tier 2 construction or similar commercial building projects
Prior experience supervising or leading a workshop team
Strong ability to read structural and shop drawings
Solid understanding of welding standards, quality control and workshop safety requirements
Well organised, with the ability to manage competing fabrication deadlines
Current White Card
What's on offer
Full-time, ongoing position for the right candidate
Based at a well-equipped workshop in Smithfield
Join a company with a steady, long-term project pipeline across Sydney's CBD and western suburbs (20+ years established)
Genuine opportunity to lead and shape the workshop team
Handover period alongside the current Foreman before his retirement
