Add expected salary to your profile for insights

Step into a Workshop Manager role that stands apart from the rest. You'll lead South Australia's largest pipeline of structural steel projects, spanning defence, industrial and commercial; within a workplace culture built on respect, collaboration and professionalism.

With an hourly rate plus penalties, you'll have the choice to boost your income through overtime or flex your hours for balance, all while guiding a skilled team in a business known nationally for its quality and integrity.

The Company

This steel fabrication and construction company has an excellent local and national reputation, and is sought after for large construction projects. The combined experience of the ownership team is of the richest in the country, spanning all facets of steel fabrication and construction.

Strengthened by significant tonne cranage capacity, CNC production machines that utilise the very latest technologies, and a team that cares about quality, this company has become the 'go to' steel fabrication and construction supplier for large SA defence, commercial and industrial projects that require the highest quality fabrication and construction standards.

The South Australian Managing Director has harnessed a great deal of industry respect; known for being a highly ethical operator, who places an emphasis on building and maintaining a people centric culture. Core business values include providing the highest standard of steelwork available, producing the best quality product, and supporting the development of a highly competent and cohesive team, ensuring employees feel happy and live balanced lives. Having a culture that people want to join, develop in, and don't want to leave; as well as harnessing the ongoing respect and commitment of the most reliable sub-contractor base; has been the cornerstone to this company's success.

Genuine care for others has become a shared value throughout the organisation, whereby colleagues show active support for one another. If a colleague needs help, whether personally or professionally, the team rally to support. This has undeniably created a unique workplace culture rarely seen to such an extent within the realm of steel fabrication and construction.

The Role
