Understanding the Perth Market

This role has no August comparison in the data, so there is no trend to read yet. Heavy duty fitters earn $160,000 in Perth, $35,000 above general mechanical fitters at $125,000 in the same city, which quantifies what mining plant specialisation pays. No other city carries enough listings under this title to compare, which is itself the point: this is a Western Australian resources role. Only 16% of listings stated a salary, so treat the level as directional.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good starting salary for a junior Hd Fitter in Perth?
The $140,000 floor is the highest trade floor in this report and assumes a completed mechanical trade qualification plus heavy plant experience. General mechanical fitting at $125,000 is the usual route in, meaning the floor here sits above the median there. Mine site inductions and experience on specific OEM equipment are what listings name most often.
Is $160,000 a good salary in Perth?
Yes, substantially. At $160,000 a heavy duty fitter earns 60% above Perth's all-roles median of $100,000, with take-home near $2,164 a week and moderate living costs. It pays $35,000 more than general mechanical fitting and matches project engineering, HSE advisory and auto electrical work in the same city. The trade-off is almost always a FIFO roster.
How much does a Senior Hd Fitter make in Perth?
The ceiling is $250,000, among the highest trade ceilings in this report, reached through shutdown supervision, specialised OEM work and demanding roster arrangements. Roster type rather than title is what drives the upper end. Given only one listing in six disclosed pay, treat that ceiling as directional.
