Senior Boilermaker / Fabricator - Aluminium & Stainless Specialist
Job Categories: Building Trades | Construction | Manufacturing/ Transportation/ Warehousing | Trades & Services
K&F Fabrications has been delivering high-end architectural metalwork on the Sunshine Coast for over 30 years. Under new ownership since 2024, the business is being run the way a good fabrication shop should be - proper equipment, clear systems, and people who care about the quality of what goes out the door.
We do bespoke, high-quality work - custom architectural builds that take real skill, not bulk orders and repeat runs. The team is small by design, close-knit, and holds itself to a high standard.
We're looking for a Senior Boilermaker/Fabricator to step into a key role in our workshop - someone experienced enough to lead by example, set the standard for quality, and bring others up with them as we grow. For the right person, there's a clear pathway into a Foreman role.
What You'll Do
- Fabricate and finish high-end architectural components in aluminium and stainless steel to exacting standards
- Execute precision TIG welds - clean, consistent, and something you'd put your name on
- Read and interpret shop drawings accurately and contribute meaningfully to the fabrication workflow
- Lead by example on quality and finish, and help junior fabricators raise their game
- Work closely with the business on scheduling, priorities, and workflow as we scale
- Mentor and support junior fabricators as part of your day-to-day
What You Bring
- Certificate III in Engineering - Fabrication Trade (Boilermaker or equivalent)
- Extensive experience in aluminium and stainless steel fabrication
- Advanced TIG welding ability in both materials, with a finish to match
- Confidence reading and working from technical drawings
- The kind of attention to detail that means you catch problems before they happen
- An eye for quality and a natural tendency to help others get there too
- A positive, professional attitude and the maturity to take on more responsibility over time
- You notice where things could work better - and you take ownership to fix it
Why K&F?
- Brand new Kemppi TIG welders - proper gear for people who care about the result
- Architectural-grade, one-off projects - not production-line work
- A clear pathway to Foreman for the right person
- A small, capable team where your skills are genuinely valued
- Sunshine Coast workshop - no long-haul travel, less stress about gas prices!
