Fabricator/ Welder
Rotorua
Structural Fabricator & Welder | The Heavy Metal Specialists
Are you a master of the arc and a wizard with a grinder? Do you take pride in seeing your work form the backbone of New Zealand’s infrastructure? We are looking for a skilled Fabricator/Welder to join our tight-knit team in the heart of Rotorua.
This isn't just a job for a 'stitch-it-together' operator. We work in the heavy structural space, where the steel is thick, the tolerances are tight, and the finished product stands as a testament to quality craftsmanship.The Role: Where Precision Meets PowerYou won’t be stuck making light-gauge frames here. You’ll be right in the thick of heavy metal fabrication, working on large-scale structural projects that require both muscle and a meticulous eye for detail.
- Heavy-Duty Fabrication: Working with heavy plate and structural beams.
- Precision Welding: Delivering high-quality MIG and Flux-core welds that meet NZ structural standards.
- Blueprint Mastery: Reading and interpreting complex workshop drawings to bring structures to life.
- On-Site & Workshop: A mix of precision workshop fabrication and occasionally getting stuck in with site installs.
What You Bring to the BenchWe’re looking for someone who doesn’t just show up, but steps up. You should have:
- Solid Experience: Proven background in structural steel fabrication and heavy welding.
- Ticketed (or ready to be): Ideally, you hold current AS/NZS 2980 certifications, or you’ve got the skills to pass the test tomorrow.
- The Right Tools: Proficiency with overhead cranes, mag drills, and heavy-duty fabrication equipment.
- Rotorua Local Pride: You’re based in (or moving to) the Bay of Plenty and ready to contribute to the local industry.
- Safety First Mindset: You know that in a heavy metal environment, looking out for your mates is just as important as the weld.
- Top-Tier Gear: Work in a well-equipped workshop with high-quality gear.
- Variety of Work: No two days are the same. From seismic bracing to massive industrial frames, the variety keeps the day moving.
- Competitive Rates: We pay for talent. You’ll get a rate that reflects your experience and hard work.
- Great Culture: We’re a team that works hard but knows how to have a laugh. No micro-management—just clear expectations and the trust to get the job done.
