About Us
Built for the Tough Stuff
We're not a franchise. We're not from the city. We're local fabricators who go where the work is — from the Whitsunday coast to the coal pits of the Bowen Basin.
The Founder
Robert Marshall
Robert Marshall is the hands behind Jax Fabrication & Welding — a qualified fabricator and welder with deep roots in the Whitsunday region and years of experience across the mining and industrial sectors.
From dragline shutdowns in the Bowen Basin to washplant maintenance in the Mackay coalfields, Robert built Jax Fabrication to serve the industries that keep this region moving — mining, marine, agriculture, and construction.
Whether it's a dozer blade rebuild in the workshop, an emergency field repair in an open-cut pit, or a boat hull repair on the Whitsunday coast — the approach is always the same: do it right, do it tough, stand behind the work.
How We Work
Our Values
Quality Over Shortcuts
Every weld is done right the first time. We don't cut corners — because in fabrication, corners that are cut eventually crack.
Mine Site Ready
We understand the demands of mining operations — tight shutdown schedules, safety requirements, and the need for work that holds up under extreme conditions.
Straight Talking
You'll get an honest assessment, a fair quote, and clear communication from start to finish. No surprises, no runaround.
We Come to You
With our fully equipped mobile welding rig, we service the Whitsundays, Mackay, the coalfields, and the entire Bowen Basin.
Where We Work
Service Area
Based in the Whitsundays, we service a wide region covering mining, industrial, and marine clients:
