Job Details

Are you a qualified fabricator and welder with the skills to lead a team that genuinely takes pride in their craft?

We’re looking for an experienced Fabrication Supervisor to join a world-leading engineering and manufacturing business based in Toowoomba. This company designs and builds highly specialised equipment for grinding mill maintenance at mine sites across the globe — precision-engineered, low-volume, high-value work where quality is non-negotiable.

This is a role for someone who brings both exceptional fabrication skills and the leadership ability to drive a high-performing team — from concept through to delivery.

The Role
As Fabrication Supervisor, you’ll lead a skilled fabrication team in a precision manufacturing environment, maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficiency. You’ll interpret complex engineering drawings, anticipate and resolve issues before they escalate, and champion a culture of continuous improvement across the shop floor.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead, support, and develop a high-performing fabrication team
• Maintain precision fabrication standards across low-volume, high-value production
• Interpret and work from complex engineering drawings and specifications
• Proactively identify and resolve issues to keep production on track
• Drive continuous improvement and lean practices across the team
• Foster a safe, productive, and collaborative team culture
• Collaborate with colleagues across all levels of the business

About You
You’re a precision-focused fabricator and natural leader — someone who sets high standards, communicates well at all levels, and keeps a team moving in the right direction. You bring a creative approach to problem-solving and a strong continuous improvement mindset, and you take real pride in the quality of what your team produces.

You will bring:

• Certificate III in Engineering (Fabrication) — essential
• AS2214 Structural Welding Supervisors Certification — essential
• High-level precision fabrication skills with a strong eye for quality
• Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings
• Strong communication skills and the ability to lead and engage a team
• A proactive, solution-focused approach and continuous improvement mindset
• Intermediate IT proficiency
• Willingness and ability to lead on night shift
• Previous supervisory experience in a fabrication or manufacturing environment
• Lean / 5S training or Certificate III/IV in Competitive Manufacturing
• IWS or IWI Certification

What’s on Offer

• $150,000 + inclusive of 30% night shift loading – based on experience
• Monday–Thursday, 4:30pm–3:00am — a true 4-day week with Fridays off
• Work with a world-leading engineering business supplying global mining operations
• A genuine opportunity to lead, innovate, and make your mark
• Supportive team culture focused on quality, safety, and continuous improvement

If you’re a qualified fabricator ready to lead a team doing genuinely world-class work — we’d like to hear from you.
