Boilermaker and Welders Required In Australia

WPF Duratec is currently seeking skilled Pipefitters, Boilermakers, and Welders for immediate starts at our Naval Base Workshop. This is hands-on work that demands real skill interpreting complex piping isometrics, fabricating to precise tolerances, and welding exotic materials. If you’ve got the trade certificate, the experience, and the ability to pass technical assessments, we want to talk to you. We’re offering varied work across the oil and gas and resources sectors, with a team that actually supports each other.

We offer a fully integrated service that combines manufacturing and fabrication facilities with the capacity to install, service, and repair complex equipment at onshore and offshore sites. Our fabrication facilities in Perth and Darwin are ISO 3834 quality certified, and we’ve built a reputation for excellence in project delivery. From offshore oil and gas producers to mining and construction, our clients trust us to deliver—and that trust is built by our people.
