About the Role Our client, a well-established manufacturer of heavy haulage trailers, is entering an exciting phase of growth and transformation. They are seeking skilled Boilermakers to join their team in Wacol.
This role is ideal for someone with strong plate fabrication experience, particularly in working with heavy steel plate components used in chassis, drawbars, and structural frames.

  • Maintain precision and accuracy throughout all fabrication stages
  • Conduct inspections and quality checks
  • Uphold strict safety procedures in the workshop
What We’re Looking For
  • Boilermaker Trade Qualification (or equivalent)
  • Experience in heavy manufacturing or trailer fabrication
  • Strong plate fabrication skills – cutting, welding, and assembling heavy steel
  • Proficiency in reading and interpreting technical/engineering drawings
  • Familiarity with mechanical systems, hydraulics, and pneumatics
  • Safe and efficient use of power tools and welding equipment
What’s on Offer
  • $52/hour casual rate + penalties
  • Flexible 4-day work week with regular overtime opportunities
  • Stable, long-term position with career development options
  • Supportive and friendly team environment
  • Modern, well-equipped workshop
