• Follow all safety procedures, permits, and risk management requirements.
• Contribute to continuous improvement, LEAN/5S practices, and maintain a safe, organised work environment.
• Support fault finding, problem solving, and mentoring of apprentices when required.

Here’s what you’ll need to thrive in this role:

• Trade certificate in welding, boiler making or a related trade is highly regarded, but not mandatory for the right applicant
• Construction White Card
• Previous experience in fabrication, welding, maintenance, repairs, pipe work, workshop or site environments is highly regarded
• Forklift license is desirable
• Strong safety mindset with the ability to follow permits, JSEAs, risk assessments and procedures
• A proactive, flexible and reliable approach, with the ability to respond to shutdowns, urgent works and changing priorities
• Ability to work autonomously when required while still contributing to a team environment

Why join our team?

• Be part of a rapidly growing regional business
• Join a supportive, energetic crew
• Work across a diverse range of fabrication, maintenance, repairs, pipe work and project work
• Upskilling opportunities to support your career growth
• Commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
