Cairns, Queensland, Australia TMH Welding & Fabrication Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

TMH Welding & Fabrications is offering a unique apprenticeship opportunity for experienced Diesel Fitters who want to expand their skills and complete a second trade in Boilermaking.

Based in Cairns, we specialise in heavy-duty breakdown repairs, fabrication, and maintenance across quarries, transport fleets, and commercial sites. This role offers exposure to a wide variety of challenging projects, from mobile welding and fabrication to workshop-based builds.

What you'll be doing:

  • Completing your Boilermaker apprenticeship while applying your Diesel Fitter knowledge on the job
  • Working on structural steel, heavy mobile plant, truck bodies, and quarry equipment
  • Learning multiple weld processes (MIG, Stick, TIG) across a range of materials
  • Gaining hands-on experience with advanced fabrication equipment, including CNC plasma and press brake
  • Working in a small, tight-knit team with direct mentorship and support

What we're looking for:

  • A qualified Diesel Fitter (or someone close to completing) who wants to add a Boilermaker trade
  • Strong practical skills, mechanical awareness, and problem-solving ability
  • A willingness to learn, adapt, and put in the hard yards
  • A team player who values safety, quality, and attention to detail

This is a rare dual trade opportunity for the right candidate to broaden their career, strengthen their versatility, and work on a wide range of projects in a supportive environment.
