Production demand changes.
Your core workforce doesn't have to.
Shipbuilding workloads rise and fall through program ramp-ups, overlapping vessels and delivery peaks. MTS helps shipbuilders add experienced capability when it is needed, without building every production peak into the permanent workforce.
Protect the core workforce
Keep the permanent team focused on ongoing production and critical capability.
Fill production gaps
Add experienced shipbuilding trades when workload, schedule or specialist requirements increase.
Scale with the program
Increase or reduce supplementary labour as production requirements change.
Tell us what the work actually requires.
A vacancy title alone does not tell the full story. MTS focuses on the trade, material, process and shipbuilding experience required for the work.
Trade, steel or aluminium, welding process, shipbuilding background, duration and shift requirements.
We target personnel whose previous vessel-construction experience aligns with the requirement.
Candidates remain subject to the client's site-specific weld testing, qualifications, inductions and onboarding requirements.
Welding & fabrication capability
For welding roles, MTS can target experienced shipbuilding personnel with backgrounds across processes and materials such as:
We do not treat every welder as interchangeable. The aim is to put forward candidates with relevant process and material experience, ready for the client's required weld test and qualification process.
Tradespeople who understand the environment.
We focus on personnel with vessel-construction experience who can work from shipbuilding drawings and 3D model systems and understand production, safety and quality requirements.
Built around the production requirement.
Short & medium-term support

Planning a production ramp-up, covering a workforce gap or expecting a short-term requirement? Submit a Workforce Requirement EOI and tell MTS the trades, experience and capability you may need. This is an expression of interest only and does not commit your company to an engagement.
Workforce Requirement EOI
Give us an early view of your expected requirement so we can identify suitable shipbuilding tradespeople and discuss availability with you.
Join the MTS team.
If you have genuine shipbuilding or marine fabrication experience, register your interest with MTS. We are particularly interested in boilermakers, fabricators and welders with steel or aluminium vessel-construction backgrounds.
Expression of Interest
Tell us what you can do. The more specific you are about your shipbuilding background, materials, welding processes and aluminium welding experience, the better we can match you to suitable client requirements.
Where is your production constraint?
Tell us the capability you need — not simply the number of people. We can discuss the trade, material, process, experience and timeframe required.
