An engineering group offering fabrication, welding and maintenance services, here and overseas, is hiring several experienced Coded Welders, Mechanical Fitters and Boilermakers on contract for shutdown and project jobs at sites nationwide through to the end of 2026. Upcoming shutdowns are in Central WA (5 to 15 November 2026), the Pilbara (16 to 29 November 2026) and South Australia (4 November to 2 December 2026), and mobilisation happens within weeks.
Rosters vary, with shifts of 10 to 12 hours across days and nights. Both temporary residents and residents are invited to apply; visa sponsorship and assistance are on offer.
Shutdown supervisors read CVs for proof, not adjectives. List your trade certificate, your weld test results, the shutdown and project jobs you have completed and tickets such as Working at Heights. Add the rosters and shift patterns you have worked so a hiring manager can see you will cope with day and night rotations, then get a shutdown-ready CV from Build AI CV before you apply.
