Job description

Tired of cutting the same thing every day?

At Luxe Metalworks, no two jobs are the same. One week it's a three-storey facade screen, the next it's a sculptural gate that makes the neighbours stop and stare. We build the custom architectural aluminium that other shops won't touch, and we're proud of every piece that leaves our Northgate workshop.

We're growing fast. We're investing in new machinery and running our workshop with smart tools and AI. Now we want a fabricator who wants to be part of that.

What you'll do

• Turn shop drawings into finished aluminium pieces that look sharp and last
• Run your own jobs from start to finish: cut lists, material orders and budget
• Use AI tools to plan cuts, nest lengths and get material orders right first time, so there's less waste and fewer trips back to the supplier
• Track your job against its budget and take credit when you beat it
• Help shape how our workshop runs as we bring more work in-house
• You've got real fabrication experience, and aluminium is your thing (or you want it to be)
• You're a confident MIG/TIG welder on aluminium and you care about a clean finish
• You came up as a boilermaker, a sheet metal worker, or something else. We don't mind where you trained. We care about what you can build.
• You see a 6.5m length and you're already working out how to get the most out of it
• You'd rather use a tablet and AI tools than a scrap of paper and a pencil behind your ear
• You take ownership, work safely, and want to get better at your trade

Why you'll like it here

• Competitive hourly rate + super, depending on experience
• Variety. It's custom work, not a production line.
• New gear. We're investing in new machinery, not running equipment into the ground.
• Recognition. Good work gets noticed and rewarded.
• A voice. You'll have a real say in how a growing business does things.
• A tight crew that backs each other up and doesn't do politics
