About Wardrobe Refractories

Wardrobe Refractories are the high-temperature insulation specialists that provide Australian commercial and industrial businesses with a rapid, reliable, and efficient approach to maintaining their essential infrastructure to ensure business stability. Some examples of units we work on include boilers (off-the-shelf and custom), incinerators, heat treatment furnaces, and heat reclamation. We are a small, family-owned business focused on client satisfaction and high-quality services.

We provide tailored solutions to minimise downtime and maximise output for small to large businesses. With Wardrobe Refractories, you work with a team that knows the history and requirements and ensures that each job is treated individually. We know the importance of having reliable infrastructure, so we ensure our products and service are at the highest standard so you have peace of mind that we can meet the demands without unplanned downtime.

We operate mainly across Greater Sydney and regional NSW.

About the work

Our work mainly focuses on refractories that require our teams to work in confined spaces and warm temperatures. We cater to greater Sydney and regional planned work, which often requires long travel and working away from home. As we work in a niche area of infrastructure repairs and maintenance, no two days are the same.

Work ethic, quality outputs, adaptability and genuine care for the jobs are among the most important aspects of working here. We often work in high-pressure and stressful situations that require high attention to detail, on-the-spot problem solving and fast but strategic action. 

About the Role

The ideal candidate will work on-site alongside our lead refractory installers to achieve various outcomes based on job-specific requirements. As we are so specialised, we don’t expect you to know the ins and outs of the units we service, so we will provide any training and support required to meet the needs of the job.
