Lead a great team. Build quality work. Grow with us.

At CIE Australia, we take pride in high-quality fabrication and attention to detail on every job. We're looking for an experienced Sheetmetal Supervisor to lead our team of 8–10 across our Sheetmetal Workshop in Portsmith and our factory in Bungalow, Cairns.

This is a leadership role first.

Our team already works well together, and we need a leader who can make a good team great. You'll get to know your people, understand what makes each of them tick, and step in with skill and fairness when challenges arise. You don't need to be an engineer, but you do need to know fabrication inside out and love bringing out the best in people.

You'll also be a key link across the business, working closely with our Electrical Design Engineers and Electricians to make sure every build meets standard, and coordinating with our Production Manager and General Manager to keep output on track and timeframes realistic.

About us

CIE designs, manufactures and maintains high-quality engineered solutions for the mining industry. Headquartered in Cairns, Far North Queensland, with a branch in Brisbane, our products are custom-built to client specifications and used at mining and industrial sites across Australia and around the world. They're built to meet exacting Australian and international standards, and to perform in some of the toughest conditions on the planet.

Our sheet metal division uses 3D CAD design and advanced CNC equipment to produce precision-fabricated products, including electrical enclosures for the mining sector that are tested to Australian arc fault containment standards. Our qualified welders and fabricators work in zinc annealed, stainless and mild steel using MIG, TIG and flux-cored welding, with every job backed by rigorous quality control and NDT testing.

The equipment you'll work with

4kW LVD Lynx FL-3015 CNC fibre laser with NITROCUBE nitrogen generation

200-tonne LVD PPED 200/40 CNC press brake

LVD CADMAN-L and CADMAN-B programming software
