Job Description

Structural Steel Fabricator

We are currently looking for an experienced Structural Steel Fabricator to join a busy engineering workshop. This role is suited to a tradesperson who is confident working independently from structural shop drawings and can take a job from raw steel through to a finished, inspection-ready product .


You’ll be fabricating a range of structural steel components including beams, columns, base plates, cleats, bracing, stairs and portals .


The Role

Day to day, you will:

  • Read and work from structural steel shop drawings, member schedules and cutting lists
  • Mark out, cut, drill, prep and assemble structural members to required tolerances
  • Weld to AS/NZS 1554.1 , including GP and SP welds
  • Predominantly use MIG/GMAW and FCAW welding processes
  • Operate workshop equipment including bandsaws, mag drills, oxy equipment and grinders
  • Check completed fabrication against drawings before coating or dispatch
  • Prepare and load fabricated steel for transport to site
  • Maintain a clean and safe workshop environment
  • Follow all PPE, hot-work and safe lifting requirements


What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Proven experience as a Structural Steel Fabricator , ideally with 10–15+ years' experience
  • Strong ability to read and interpret structural steel shop drawings without supervision
  • Sound MIG welding skills across a range of material thicknesses and positions
  • Good understanding of fabrication tolerances and structural steel quality requirements
  • Ability to mark out and fabricate accurately from drawings
  • Physically fit and comfortable working in a busy engineering workshop
  • Reliable, punctual and capable of working unsupervised
  • Full NZ Driver Licence
  • Legal right to work in New Zealand


Highly Regarded:

  • Current welding qualification to AS/NZS 2980
  • Familiarity with AS/NZS 5131 construction categories and SFC requirements
  • Forklift licence with F endorsement
  • Overhead crane or gantry crane experience/tickets


About You

We’re not looking for someone who needs to be shown every step of the job. You’ll be an experienced fabricator who can be given a set of drawings, understand what needs to be built, and get on with producing accurate, quality work.

If you’re a seasoned structural fabricator looking for your next opportunity and take pride in producing quality work, we’d like to hear from you.
