Boilermaker

Fabrication & Construction

• Cut, shape, and form metal plates, tubes, and structural sections using hand tools, power tools, and machinery
• Fabricate pressure vessels, tanks, boilers, and heat exchangers to engineering drawings and specifications
• Assemble large components using jigs, fixtures, and lifting equipment
• Perform fit-up of structural and pressure parts prior to welding

Welding & Joining

• Weld components using MIG, TIG, SMAW (stick), and flux-core processes
• Perform tack welding during assembly and fit-up stages
• Carry out post-weld treatments such as stress relieving or heat treatment as required

Reading & Interpretation

• Read and interpret engineering drawings, isometric diagrams, and weld maps
• Work from job cards, work orders, and material specifications
• Apply relevant Australian Standards (AS/NZS) and pressure vessel codes (e.g. AS 1210, AS 4041)

Quality & Inspection

• Conduct visual inspections of welds and fabrications
• Assist with non-destructive testing (NDT) activities such as dye penetrant, magnetic particle, or ultrasonic testing
• Ensure dimensional accuracy using measuring tools (tape, vernier calipers, squares, levels)
• Complete inspection records, weld logs, and job documentation

Material Handling

• Identify and select correct materials (plate, pipe, fittings) per job requirements
• Mark out and cut material with minimal waste
• Manage material traceability and certification documents

Equipment Operation & Maintenance

• Operate overhead cranes, hoists, forklifts, and other lifting equipment (with appropriate tickets)
• Use workshop machinery including press brakes, rolls, ironworkers, and plasma/oxy-fuel cutting equipment
• Carry out daily pre-start checks and basic maintenance on tools and equipment

Safety & Compliance

• Follow safe work procedures and Job Safety Analyses (JSAs/SWMS)
• Work in accordance with site safety rules and WHS legislation
• Use and maintain personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Participate in toolbox talks, hazard identification, and incident reporting
• Comply with confined space, working at heights, and hot work permit requirements where applicable
