About the business
A proudly local operation with a strong reputation in stainless steel fabrication, TIG and MIG welding, CNC machining, and foundry casting.

  • Taking pride in a high standard of workmanship
What we're looking for
  • 3+ years of solid fabrication and welding experience
  • Confident TIG welding on stainless steel
  • Comfortable working independently and as part of a small team
  • Trade qualifications aren't essential — we care more about what you can actually do
What's on offer
  • Permanent, full-time position
  • $30–$40/hr, depending on experience
  • Overtime (over 40h) paid at time and a half
  • A long-established, financially stable employer
  • A varied project pipeline across different industries
  • A tight-knit, supportive workshop team
  • Room to grow your skills across a broader range of fabrication work
