About the role

A Western Australian workforce provider needs qualified Boilermakers, Fabricators, Welders and Pipefitters to fill roles with its clients in defence, rail, oil and gas, health, mining and civil construction. Placements are spread between the Perth metropolitan area and regional WA.

What this employer wants above all is tradespeople who can take a drawing or work pack and turn it into accurate, safe and compliant steelwork. On the welding side that means TIG work on a range of alloys or flux-cored welding on structural components. Pipefitters will be building spools and piping systems, while boilermakers take on structural steel, platework and heavy industrial items.

The employer has confirmed that sponsorship is available for this role, which makes it a genuine option for skilled metal workers weighing up a move.
