Position Purpose
The Mechanical Fabricator plays a critical role in the manufacture and assembly of a wide range of bespoke projects including structural fabrications, fascia’s and show decks, and mechanically driven stage machinery. This position combines high-quality welding and fabrication with mechanical build and fitting, supporting both static structures and dynamic, moving systems.
Working across mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium, the role involves the use of both MIG and TIG welding processes to fabricate components to engineering specifications and tight tolerances. In addition to fabrication, the position includes mechanical assembly of parts such as gearboxes, motors, drive systems, and other moving mechanisms used in performance and staging environments.
Essential Responsibilities
- Fabricate structural and architectural components using MIG/TIG/MMA welding to required specifications.
- Work with various materials including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminium.
- Construct custom metal frameworks, fascia structures, deck platforms, and mounting assemblies tailored to project requirements.
- Use cutting, rolling, and bending equipment to form components as needed.
- Adhere to welding procedures and quality standards, ensuring high finish quality and dimensional accuracy.
- Assemble mechanical systems including bearings, motors, gearboxes, pulleys, linear rails, and other components used in stage machinery.
- Fit and align moving parts to ensure smooth and safe mechanical function.
- Perform functional testing and basic fault finding on mechanical systems.
- Work from mechanical schematics, exploded drawings, and layout plans to complete assemblies.
- Maintain an organized and tidy work area, adhering to health & safety standards.
- Support cross-functional collaboration with design, engineering, and installation teams to resolve build challenges.
- Conduct in-process quality checks and ensure all work meets project specifications and safety requirements.
- Handle materials in line with company procedures, including inventory checks and waste minimization.
- Participate in continuous improvement initiatives related to fabrication, assembly, and workflow.
