Trade Qualified Fabricator - Structural Steel & Custom Fabrication

ET Fabrication is a family-owned steel fabrication business based in Bayswater North. We specialise in structural steel, custom fabrication, and project-based work, delivering high-quality workmanship for a diverse range of clients.

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Metal Fabricator/Welder to join our team.

This is not a production welding role. We are looking for a skilled tradesperson who can read plans, think critically, solve problems, and fabricate projects from start to finish. The successful applicant will be confident interpreting drawings, identifying potential issues, and developing practical solutions when plans or site conditions don't tell the whole story.

- Casual employment may also be considered for the right candidate
- Monday to Friday
- Competitive hourly rate based on experience and capability
- Diverse workshop and onsite fabrication work

- Manufacture projects from raw materials through to completed assemblies
- Identify fabrication, design, or installation challenges and develop practical solutions
- Perform MIG, TIG, and ARC welding as required
- Carry out cutting, drilling, grinding, folding, fitting, and assembly work
- Complete onsite installation work when required
- Maintain high standards of workmanship and quality control




- Ensure compliance with workplace health and safety requirements
- Maintain a clean, organised, and safe work environment

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work and enjoys the challenge of building projects rather than simply welding parts together.

The ideal candidate will be able to:

- Work independently with minimal supervision
- Read and interpret technical drawings confidently
- Think ahead and identify issues before they become problems
- Adapt designs where required to achieve practical outcomes
- Take ownership of projects from fabrication through to installation
