2nd Class Welder

Weld it right the first time. Every time.

Key Points

• Hands-on fabrication role in a growing steel framing operation
• Clear level structure with defined pathways to advancement
• Modern Larapinta facility with strong safety and quality standards

The Opportunity

As a 2nd Class Welder / Fabricator at Steelcraft Framing, you will be responsible for safely fabricating and welding structural and light-gauge steel components to drawing and specification. Your work directly supports factory throughput, downstream installation quality and on-time delivery across our framing operation.

This is a role for someone who takes ownership of their output, accurate work, first time, every time. We run a levelled structure from entry through to advanced fabricators, with clear competency requirements at each stage. Where you start depends on what you bring; where you go depends on what you demonstrate.

What Success Looks Like

Within your first 30 days, you will have:

• Passed our internal weld test to the required standard
• Demonstrated safe welding practice and PPE compliance from day one
• Understood our drawings, workflow and quality expectations

Ongoing success is measured by:

• Safe work practices consistently demonstrated, no exceptions
• Weld quality that meets Steelcraft standard with minimal rework
• Components completed accurately, to specification and ready for the next process
• Defects identified and escalated early, not passed downstream
• Reliable attendance, punctuality and positive contribution to the team

What You Will Own

• MIG welding and fabrication of structural and light-gauge steel components
• Reading and interpreting Steelcraft fabrication drawings accurately
• Inspecting your own work and maintaining first-time-right standards
• Safe use of hand tools, grinders, cutting equipment and (at higher levels) overhead crane and forklift
• Maintaining a clean, organised and compliant welding area
• Identifying hazards, drawing errors or quality issues and escalating early

About You

You are a reliable welder who takes quality seriously and works safely without being told twice.

You will bring:

• Demonstrated MIG welding experience in a production or fabrication environment
• Ability to read fabrication drawings and follow instructions accurately
• A disciplined approach to quality, you inspect your own work, and you care about the outcome
• Solid WHS awareness including hot work controls, PPE and safe work practices
• A forklift licence
• A willingness to support teammates and contribute to production flow

Experience in steel framing, structural fabrication or light-gauge steel is highly regarded. What matters most is weld quality, reliability and work ethic.

This Role Is Not for You If

• You cut corners on safety or quality when no one is watching
• Rework doesn't bother you
• You need to be told what to do every step of the way
• You struggle with drawings or precision fabrication requirements

Why Steelcraft Group

• Clear level structure with defined competency milestones and pay progression
• Modern Larapinta facility with ongoing investment in equipment and capability
• Strong team culture built on accountability, quality and trust
• A business that is growing — and promoting from within as it does
