About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Boilermaker / Welder for a permanent position. This role involves fabricating, assembling, and welding heavy structural components, custom plate work, and specialised industrial ventilation equipment for major WA mining, resources, and infrastructure projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Fabrication & Assembly: Mark out, cut, shape, and fit heavy steel plate, structural section profiles, and tubular components according to engineering shop drawings.
• Welding: Perform high-quality GTAW (TIG) welds adhering strictly to AS/NZS 1554.1 structural standards.
• Workshop Machinery: Safely operate workshop equipment.
• Quality & Safety: Conduct pre-weld setup, joint prep, and post-weld inspection to meet strict QA/QC tolerances while maintaining safety standards.

Key Fabrication Scopes

• Silencers & Attenuators: Assembling structural frames and sheet metal/plate outer shells fitted with internal sound-dampening baffles.
• Ducting & Transition Pieces: Fabricating steel ventilation ducting, elbows, bifurcations, dampers, and custom transformation pieces (e.g., round-to-square transitions).
• Skid Frames & Mounting Structures: Building heavy structural steel skids, transport frames, hanging brackets, and overhead gantry supports.

Primary Welding Processes & Materials

• GTAW (TIG): Used for precise root passes or stainless-steel components where high cosmetic and structural integrity is required.
• Materials Used: Carbon steel (mild steel plate up to heavy structural thicknesses), stainless steel (for corrosive mine environments), and wear-resistant/high-tensile steels.

Requirements

• Australian Trade Qualification (Certificate III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade / Boilermaker).
• Demonstrated experience in fabricating carbon, alloy, and stainless steels.
• High proficiency in GTAW (TIG) welding across all positions.
• Ability to interpret complex technical engineering drawings and ISO welding symbols.
