• Trade qualified in fabrication/welding or equivalent experience;

• Solid background in structural or machinery-based fabrication;

• MIG/TIG welding experience with the ability to complete a weld test;

• Able to read and work from technical drawings and weld symbols;

• Detail-focused with a strong commitment to quality; and

• Open to completing a 6GR qualification after starting.

Desirable:

• Experience working to formal welding standards (AS1554, ISO, AWS etc.);

• Exposure to jigs, fixtures, or controlled fabrication processes; and

• Tickets/licences such as Dogging, Rigging, Forklift or EWP.

What you’ll get in return:

• Opportunity to work on genuinely different and interesting builds;

• Stable, permanent role with long-term scope;

• Training and development including formal welding certifications; and

• Port Melbourne location, extraordinary office space with games, gym and much more!
