Thinking about kerja luar negara in a metal trade? A workforce company in Western Australia is looking for qualified Boilermakers, Fabricators, Welders and Pipefitters to place with clients in health, defence, rail, mining, civil construction and oil and gas. The roles are spread between the Perth metro area and regional WA.
Your work will depend on your trade. Expect workshop fabrication, pipe spools and full piping systems, TIG and flux-core welding, and heavy structural steel. Every task begins with drawings or a work pack, and safety meetings and inspections are part of each shift, so come ready to show careful, tidy work.
Sponsorship is available for this role, so it is worth preparing your application properly.
A useful next step is updating your English CV. Name your trade certificate clearly, list each welding process with the metals you have used it on, and add any confined space, rigging or forklift tickets. Draft a practical pipe, plate and TIG CV using Build AI CV.
