The Opportunity

Here is what this Brisbane employer wants to see. The business does welding and fabrication and is filling full-time roles for special class welders, boilermakers and pipefitters, and the shortlist will favour tradespeople who can show the right processes and materials.

For welders, that means GMAW (STT), FCAW and GTAW. For pipefitters, it means assembling pipes, gaskets, valves and associated equipment to a range of specifications. Both groups work in stainless and carbon steel and take their direction from drawings.

To stand out, mirror those duties in your application. Name each process you use, say which steels you have worked with, and give an example of a job you led or planned. The employer also values high-level technical knowledge and clear verbal communication, so show both.

Recruiters skim, so tidy your CV first and tailor your CV to this welding role with Build AI CV, keeping your trade qualification and fabrication history near the top.
