The Standard We're Looking For

n

A large portion of our work is finished architectural metalwork, meaning the fabrication is often part of the final visible product.

n

We're looking for someone who notices the details:

n

Are the gaps even?
n Are the welds neat?
n Is it straight and square?
n Are the joins clean?
n Are the fixings neat and consistent?
n Has the finished surface been protected?
n Would you be proud to put your name on it?

n

We want tradespeople who take ownership of their work and understand that completing the job is only part of the requirement — the finished product needs to look right as well.

n

What We Offer

n

n
- Full-time employment
n
- Pay negotiable depending on experience, capability and skill level
n
- Varied architectural and custom fabrication projects
n
- Workshop and site-based work
n
- Opportunity to work with stainless steel, aluminium, brass and mild steel
n
- Modern fabrication equipment and workshop
n
- Large-scale commercial and high-end architectural projects
n
- Opportunity to develop your fabrication, installation and architectural metalwork skills
n
- A team focused on continually improving quality and workmanship
