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 strong 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

Robust 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
