Job description

Step Up, Lead the Floor & Keep Your Hands on the Tools

Tired of repetitive production lines or chasing fly-in, fly-out rosters?

At CAM Attachments (a brand of TVH) we design and manufacture bespoke, heavy-duty attachments, custom forklift solutions, and specialised equipment. We are looking for an experienced Boilermaker / Fabricator to run the floor as our Workshop Leading Hand. This is a true working supervisor role - leading a tight-knit crew and delivering precision-engineered solutions our customers rely on.

The Role: Lead by Example

This is a true working supervisor role. You won't be stuck behind a desk; you'll drive the pace, set the quality benchmark, and fabricate alongside your team.

• Team Leadership: Supervise, motivate, and direct a skilled crew of boilermakers, welders, and trade assistants.
• Hands-on Fabrication: Read and interpret complex engineering drawings to build, fit, and weld custom steel attachments to exact tolerances.
• Workflow Management: Manage daily job allocation, track workflow from raw material to finished product, and ensure delivery timelines are met.
• Quality & Safety Standards: Ensure workshop operations meet stringent Australian safety regulations and TVH quality benchmarks.

What You Bring to the Team

• Trade Qualified: Cert III in Engineering (Boilermaking / Heavy Fabrication or equivalent).
• Technical Skill: Solid experience in heavy/custom steel fabrication and reading engineering drawings.
• Leadership Drive: Proven experience as a leading hand, or a senior trade professional ready to step up.
• Safety First: A proactive, zero-harm approach to daily workshop operations.

What's In It for You?

• 9 Day Fortnight: Enjoy 26 long weekends a year with every second Friday off.
• Variety in Fabrication: Custom, job-shop manufacturing where your technical problem-solving and trade skills genuinely matter.
• Global Stability, Local Feel: Backed by TVH - a global market leader in material handling and industrial parts - with the camaraderie and agility of an agile local team.
• Great Perks: Novated car leasing and company funded PPE/uniforms, paid parental leave and continuous learning via LinkedIn Learning access and targeted external leadership/technical training.
• Comprehensive Health & Wellness perks: discounted private health cover, free annual flu shots, and confidential EAP support.
• Great Workshop Culture: Regular crew lunches, visiting food trucks, and a team where practical expertise is recognised and rewarded.
