Kalgoorlie | Residential | Monday–Friday
About ABBA Engineering
ABBA Engineering is an Australian-owned, ISO-accredited engineering and manufacturing company delivering fabrication, mechanical, and project solutions across mining and heavy industrial sectors.
Our Kalgoorlie workshop is a critical part of our operations, supporting site services, shutdowns, and project delivery across the region. We are now seeking a Workshop Supervisor to strengthen day-to-day leadership and support the Site & Services Manager in driving consistent performance across our boilermaking team.
The Opportunity
This role is a hands-on workshop leadership position, focused on execution, accountability, and people management.
You will supervise a team of boilermakers, welders, and fitters, ensuring work is delivered safely, on time, and to specification — while also maintaining strong control over attendance, timesheets, leave, and day-to-day workforce matters.
This role suits a trade-qualified supervisor who is confident on the floor, comfortable behind a computer, and able to communicate clearly with both trades and management. You won't be making decisions in isolation — but you will be expected to provide clear, practical input to support planning, problem-solving, and operational decisions.
What You'll Be Accountable For
* Daily workshop performance
— work is planned, resourced, and executed efficiently
* Team output and conduct
— the crew is productive, engaged, and meeting expectations
* Safety and quality outcomes
— standards are enforced, not assumed
* Attendance, timesheets, and leave control
— accurate, timely, and compliant
* Clear communication
— issues, risks, and progress are visible and addressed early
* Performance conversations
— feedback is given, documented, and followed through
* Support to the Site & Services Manager
— practical input that improves outcomes, not noise
This is a role where
follow-through matters
. You will be trusted to keep the workshop running smoothly and to raise issues early with sensible, workable solutions.

* Solid computer skills (Microsoft Office, Simpro or similar systems)
* The ability to make practical, reasonable suggestions to support operational decisions
