BOILERMAKERS WANTED – ONGOING WORK

First Grade Contract Maintenance (FGCM) is looking for experienced trade-qualified Boilermakers to join our team for ongoing work in our Biloela workshop and across Central Queensland mine sites.

We have a strong pipeline of work and are looking for quality tradespeople who want more than just the next shutdown.

ABOUT FGCM

FGCM is a locally owned and operated mining and industrial maintenance company based in Biloela.

Our crews work across major mining and industrial operations throughout Central Queensland, supported by our Biloela workshop.

Our work includes heavy mining equipment repairs and overhauls, dragline and excavator buckets, dump truck trays, CHPP and fixed plant maintenance, structural fabrication, shutdowns, breakdowns and project work.

THE ROLE

This is a hands-on Boilermaker position with plenty of variety.

Depending on the project, you could be working in our workshop on a major equipment overhaul one week and supporting one of our mine-site crews the next.

Work may include

- Heavy fabrication, welding and repairs

- Dragline and excavator bucket repairs and overhauls

- Dump truck tray repairs, rebuilds and new builds

- CHPP and fixed plant maintenance

- Chutes, liners, wear plate and structural repairs

- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings

- Good fabrication, fit-up and welding skills

- Strong commitment to safety and quality

- Reliable attendance and a solid work ethic

Mining, CHPP, fixed plant, shutdown or heavy equipment experience will be highly regarded.

Current Coal Board Medical, Standard 11, Working at Heights, Confined Space and mine-site inductions are also highly regarded, but don't let an expired or missing site competency stop you from applying.

- A genuine variety of heavy fabrication and mining maintenance work

- Planned maintenance, shutdown, breakdown and project opportunities

- Meals and accommodation for eligible non-local site work

WHY JOIN FGCM?

We are building FGCM for the long term and want positive tradespeople to build their careers with us.

We value people who turn up, work safely, take pride in their trade and back the crew around them.

If you're an experienced Boilermaker looking for ongoing work, variety and the opportunity to work across both workshop and mine-site projects, we'd like to hear from you.
