About This Role
This is a senior hands-on technical role in Ethiopia’s growing industrial mining sector, requiring deep experience in heavy equipment fabrication and structural maintenance. You’ll be responsible for ensuring the integrity and safety of mining infrastructure through welding, cutting, and repair work in a remote, fly-in/fly-out camp environment. It suits an experienced tradesperson who is comfortable working in isolated locations and can operate with limited supervision.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The employer is seeking a seasoned fabricator who has moved beyond basic welding into preventive maintenance and problem-solving under harsh conditions. The implied profile is someone with at least 5–8 years in heavy industrial settings—likely mining, oil and gas, or large-scale construction—who can read blueprints, work with various metals, and maintain safety standards without constant oversight. Certification in welding processes (e.g., SMAW, GMAW, FCAW) is probably expected, though not stated.
How to Approach This Application
Focus your application on specific examples of fabrication or repair work you’ve done in remote or heavy industrial sites. Emphasize any experience with gold mining or similar mineral processing plants, and highlight your ability to work rotational rosters. The employer will prioritize candidates who demonstrate safety compliance, self-reliance, and a track record of minimizing downtime through proactive maintenance.
Who This Role Suits
This role is ideal for a veteran boilermaker or maintenance fabricator seeking stable, high-impact work in Ethiopia’s resource sector. It is expected to be moderately competitive, but candidates with proven remote site experience will have a clear advantage.
