Australia's highest-paid tradie jobs revealed
There is good money to be made in the trades - but some jobs bring bigger rewards than others.
Seek says there's a growing demand for skilled tradespeople, and as a career path it offers "a relatively high salary and good job security" - without the need for a university degree.
The job-finding website crunched the numbers to find what roles paid the most.
Continue through our gallery to find out what's number one.
10. Carpenter - $65,000 to $85,000
Carpenters are in demand as construction grows and a shortage of skills and experience has emerged in the industry.
9. Welder - $75,000 to $85,000
"To do this job you'll need attention to detail, physical strength, good hand-eye coordination, and the relevant technical knowledge," Seek said.
Demand for welders is also on the rise.
8. Plumber - $75,000 - $95,000
Commercial plumbers and sewer and drain technicians tend to earn higher salaries, Seek says.
7. Jeweller - $75,000 to $100,000
There are a number of ways to become a certified jeweller, some of which don't involve apprenticeships.
Seek said the highest-paid jewellers worked for themselves.
6. Electrician - $90,000 to $110,000
Increasing investment in renewables, and the growth of the construction industry, are key factors driving rising demand for electricians.
5. Rigger - $95,000 to $115,000
Riggers are in charge of moving heavy equipment and machinery, often involved in tasks like assembling construction scaffolding and moving prefabricated pieces.
4. Boilermaker - $115,000 to $135,000
Boilermakers build metal structures for anything from boilers, blast furnaces, ships, trains, and bridges.
"Unlike a welder, which is a similar position, a boilermaker is often responsible for ongoing repairs and maintenance of these structures," Seek said.
Their unique skill set means boilermakers are generally in high demand.
3. Miner - $120,000 to $140,000
Australia's mining industry is one of the national economy's largest sectors.
2. Site manager - $130,000 to $150,000
The booming construction industry is again the main driving force behind a need for site managers.
These workers are employed by construction companies to supervise worksites.
