Steel Fabricator Welder Boilermaker

Uralla Metal isn't looking for a gun fabricator- not an average welder to join our team full-time.

We're chasing an experienced Steel Fabricator who knows their way around transport fabrication, takes pride in their craftsmanship, delivers quality work, and is available to start immediately. We want someone who gets on with the job as we have heaps of new jobs to do.

Uralla Metals is a growing regional manufacturing business specialising in the design and manufacture of premium livestock transport equipment, truck bodies, stock crates, truck modifications, dog/pig trailers, and specialised steel products, serving customers across NSW and Southern Queensland.

Based in Uralla, NSW, this is an opportunity to secure long-term employment with a growing business that invests in its people. https://www.urallametal.com.au and on Facebook: Uralla Metals. https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=uralla%20metal
