Every build is different, and our team enjoysturning complex concepts into well-engineered vehicles through hands-on craftsmanship, problem-solving and collaboration.

With several exciting projects about to begin and a strong pipeline of work ahead, we’re expanding our team and hiring for multiple permanent full-time positions. We are looking for people who enjoy hands-onworkand being part of a skilled team that takes pride in what they create.

About Our Team

Our team includes experienced fabricators, vehicle body builders and other skilled tradespeople who take pride in the craftsmanship involved in custom builds. Because each project is unique or produced in small numbers, the work involves problem-solving, collaboration and careful attention to detail as each vehicle takes shape.

The Role

You’ll be part of a team of experienced tradespeople building custom trailers and vehicle bodies from the ground up.

Our projects involve fabrication, assembly, fit-out and installation work. Because every unit is different, the role offers variety and the opportunity to be involved in builds from start to finish.

One week you might be fabricating structural components, the next fitting out interiors, installing equipment, or working through the practical detailsthat come with building complex, one-off vehicles.

We’re open to applicants from a range of backgrounds — experienced vehicle body builders, fabricators, mechanics, tradespeople from related industries, or practical people who simply like building things and want to learn something new.

For the right person, there are opportunities to take on additional responsibility or leadership roles as our team continues to grow.

• Fabricating, assembling, and fitting components to engineered drawings
• Contributing ideas and solutions as part of a collaborativeteam
• Producing high-quality work on unique builds that require attention to detail
• Helping deliver projects that are used by government, emergency services, and industry across Australia

Our team enjoys solving the practical challenges that come with custom builds. If you like variety, working alongside skilled tradespeople, and get satisfaction from seeing a finished unit roll out the door knowing you helped build it, you’ll fit in well here.

We\'re interested in hearing from people with a range of backgrounds, including:

• Vehicle body builders
• Fabricators or boilermakers
• Mechanics or technicians
• Tradespeople from related industries
• Practical people with strong hands-on skills who are keen to learn
