Boilermaker / Fabricator

1. $40-$52/hr + OT & Allowances - structural welding on Cranes & Heavy Equipment
2. Additional certifications + optional project travel — build real skills
3. Permanent Mon-Fri — Murarrie, uniforms & boots supplied, no labour hire

If you've spent years welding light steel and calling it fabrication, scroll on.

But if you want to put your hands on crane booms, heavy transport equipment, and serious structural rebuilds and repairs this is worth your time.

What this pays

1. $42–$52 per hour based on experience
2. + Super and Overtime
3. Travel allowances and costs paid when working away

The work

This is a workshop-based structural welding role with a well-established heavy transport and equipment specialist in Murarrie. The business services, repairs, and rebuilds cranes and heavy equipment for transport and infrastructure clients across Queensland and beyond.

The work is technical. The standards are high. The workshop is run properly.

Your day-to-day:

1. Structural welding and fabrication on heavy vehicles and mobile equipment
2. Boom and structural repairs on cranes and transport equipment
3. Workshop fabrication and rebuilds
4. Compliance-driven structural repairs to exacting standards
5. Field service — Brisbane metro plus occasional project site work

This is not light fabrication. If structural and heavy equipment work is your background, you'll feel the difference from day one.

The hours

1. Monday to Friday, day shift
2. 38-hour standard week
3. Overtime available — not mandatory
4. Weekend work available at premium rates
5. Full shift details provided during the process

The travel

Travel comes up occasionally. It's not the job, but it's part of it:

1. Occasional trips to manufacturing facilities and project sites outside Brisbane
2. Fully expensed — flights, accommodation, and transport arranged
3. Daily travel allowances paid — meals and living away from home covered
4. Always discussed and agreed in advance — never a surprise

If travel doesn't work for you right now, say that upfront. It's a conversation, not a dealbreaker.

The training

This business builds capability, not just headcount — and it's backed up in writing:

1. Course fees fully reimbursed
2. Paid training time including travel days
3. Structured pathway to stronger technical depth
4. Genuine development not a tagline

The weld test

As part of the process you'll complete a structural fabrication weld test. This isn't there to catch you out — it's there to confirm your capability and match the work to your level. If structural welding is your trade, you'll walk through it.

Who fits this role?

Solid fit if you have:

1. Certificate III — Boilermaker / Fabricator
2. 2+ years structural welding (MIG / flux core essential)
3. Experience with heavy vehicles, cranes, or mobile plant
4. White card (construction induction)
5. Physically capable for workshop and field environments
6. Commitment to safety and quality workmanship

Bonus if you bring:

1. TIG welding capability
2. EWP or forklift licence
3. HR or MR licence
4. Crane or transport equipment background
5. Experience reading structural drawings

You don't need every item on the bonus list. The weld test tells us more than your resume anyway — come ready to weld and the rest is a conversation.

What else is included

1. Permanent full-time employment — not contract, not labour hire
2. Uniforms and boots supplied
3. Modern, organised workshop with strong safety systems
4. Professional leadership that invests in the trades team
5. Consistent workflow — not project-to-project uncertainty
6. Exposure to workshop, field, and project environments over time

One straight answer

This isn't a workshop where showing up is enough. The structural work is real, the standards are enforced, and you'll know within a few weeks whether it's the right fit and so will they. But if it is the pay is transparent, the training is real, and the work builds a proper career in heavy equipment.

That's a better deal than most workshops are putting on the table right now.
