This role requires deep technical expertise in industrial machinery, familiarity with global electrical compliance standards, and the flexibility to support overseas equipment mobilization.

Key responsibilities

• Perform high-quality structural welding using SMAW (Stick), GMAW (MIG), and FCAW (Flux-cored) techniques on heavy-gauge carbon steel and alloy components.
• Fabricate and assemble custom geotechnical drilling tools, bucket teeth, auger flights, casing joints, and specialty foundations infrastructure from technical drawings.
• Read and accurately interpret complex blueprints, engineering drawings, and welding symbols to plan layout and execution sequences.
• Conduct structural repairs and hard facing/wear-protection overlay on heavy-duty equipment subjected to extreme abrasive ground environment.
• Conduct self-inspections of weld profiles, perform basic Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) prep, and cooperate with international third-party inspectors to secure structural certifications.
• Deep understanding of the properties, pre-heating, and post-heating requirements of heavy structural steels and high-wear alloy materials.

About you

• Valid welder qualifications/certifications for multi-position heavy-gauge welding.
• Minimum 3 to 5 years proven experience as a welder/fabricator in heavy industry, ideally within foundation engineering, mining, marine construction, or heavy plant environments.
• Expert command of workshop equipment, including heavy-duty cutting torches, plasma cutters, arc-gouging units, large angle grinders, and magnetic drills.
• Willingness to work in a high-activity industrial workshop setting with exposure to heat, noise, and fumes (using proper PPE/extraction).
• Willingness to travel and accept rotational or long-term field assignments at international project sites.
• Ability to work in demanding outdoor environments (varying weather conditions, muddy foundation sites) and lift up to 50 lbs.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Ability to work under pressure and manage competing priorities.
• Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Team-oriented approach with the ability to work independently when required.

Benefits

• Opportunity to work on a major mining project.
• Competitive remuneration package.
• Career development and growth opportunities.
• Collaborative and professional working environment.
