Job Description
Workshop Supervisor (Boilermaker) — Structural Steel
We’re recruiting on behalf of a well-established structural steel company delivering Tier 2 new build construction projects across Sydney’s CBD and western suburbs. With a strong pipeline of work ahead, they’re looking for an experienced Workshop Supervisor to lead their Smithfield workshop full-time, on an ongoing basis.
About the role
You’ll run the day-to-day floor of a busy structural steel workshop — supervising a team of boilermakers and tradespeople, managing fabrication schedules, and ensuring every piece leaving the workshop is built to spec and ready for site. This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll need to be across the tools yourself as much as you’re managing the team around you.
What you’ll be doing
- Supervising and coordinating workshop staff, including boilermakers, welders and fabricators
- Reading and working from structural drawings and shop details to plan fabrication sequencing
- Managing workshop scheduling to hit fabrication deadlines aligned with site delivery programs
- Maintaining quality control across welding, fabrication and finishing to relevant Australian Standards
- Overseeing workshop WHS, housekeeping and equipment maintenance
- Liaising with project managers and site teams on fabrication progress, delivery timing and any design/documentation queries
- Managing materials, consumables and equipment ordering for the workshop
What we’re looking for
- Trade-qualified Boilermaker (essential)
- Proven experience in structural steel fabrication, ideally within Tier 2 construction or similar commercial building projects
- Prior experience supervising or leading a workshop team
- Strong ability to read structural and shop drawings
- Solid understanding of welding standards, quality control and workshop safety requirements
- Well organised, with the ability to manage competing fabrication deadlines
- Current White Card
What’s on offer
- Full-time, ongoing position for the right candidate
- Based at a well-equipped workshop in Smithfield
- Join a company with a steady, long-term project pipeline across Sydney’s CBD and western suburbs (20+ years established)
- Genuine opportunity to lead and shape the workshop team
- Handover period alongside the current Foreman before his retirement
