Description

Your Fabrication Work, Brought to Life
What if the structures you welded became the body, limbs, head, neck, or tail of a large-scale animatronic creature?
We’re looking for an experienced Boilermaker, Welder, or Mechanical Fabricator to join our Engineering Fabrication team in Port Melbourne.

You’ll produce complex, precision weldments that need to move accurately, perform reliably, and withstand the demands of live attractions and entertainment environments around the world.
This is hands-on fabrication from detailed engineering drawings through to completed assemblies. The work is wide-ranging, technically demanding, and built around quality rather than repetitive production.

Why This Work Is Different
The weldments you produce form the mechanical structure at the centre of our creatures. Their accuracy directly affects how each creature moves, how safely and reliably it performs, and how long it remains operational.
You’ll work closely with engineers, assemblers, and experienced fabricators to solve practical build challenges and create structures with real, visible outcomes.
Requirements





You could be the one if you…

- Hold a trade qualification, or equivalent certification, in mechanical fabrication, welding or similar.
- Bring strong hands-on steel fabrication experience, ideally involving large structures or machinery.
- Can read engineering drawings and welding symbols confidently and work consistently to tight tolerances.
- Can complete a practical weld test as part of the recruitment process.
- Are willing to train towards and pass a 6GR weld qualification after commencing in the role.
- Take a quality-first approach to fabrication, welding, fit-up, and finished work.
- Enjoy detailed, technically challenging work where precision matters.

Nice to Have

- Experience working to recognised welding standards such as AWS, ISO, AS/NZS 1554, or equivalent.
- Experience designing and using jigs, fixtures, and weld-mapping techniques.
- Current Dogging, Rigging, forklift, or EWP licences, or a willingness to obtain them if required.
