Boilermaker/Structural Welder

Midcoast Truck Bodies specialises in all aspects of commercial vehicle bodybuilding and repairs we require the services of an experienced qualified Structural Welder/Boilermaker for heavy vehicle body building.

The Role

• Structural fabrication of heavy vehicle bodies and subframe.

• Accurate fit-up, joint prep and distortion control
• QA/QC checks to ensure compliance and finish standards
• Operation of CNC equipment (plate cutters, press brakes, laser/plasma)

What You’ll Need

• Trade qualification (Boilermaker / Fabricator)
• Proven structural welding experience (transport/heavy industry preferred)
• Ability to pass AS1554 weld test
• Strong understanding of weld integrity, tolerances and compliance
• High attention to detail and strong safety focus

• Ongoing training and long-term stability (35+ years in industry)

• Monthly RDO (conditions apply)

• $5,000 sign‑on bonus for the successful candidate (T&Cs apply)

• Relocation assistance for the right applicant

If you understand the difference between general welding and structural fabrication — and take pride in doing it right the first time — we’d like to hear from you.

Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
