A Good Machine Operator Keeps Things Running. A Great One Knows Why They Stop.

If that sounds like you, we want to talk.


This is a role for someone who enjoys semi-automated manufacturing machines, not just buttons. Someone who takes ownership of their equipment, knows how to troubleshoot problems and gets satisfaction from running a productive, efficient operation.

 

You'll Be Trusted To:

  • Take ownership of operating semi-automated production equipment

  • Set up machinery, complete changeovers and fine-tune performance

  • Identify faults, troubleshoot issues and minimise downtime

  • Carry out routine equipment checks and basic maintenance

  • Maintain consistent production output without compromising quality

  • Identify smarter, safer and more efficient ways of working

  • Work alongside a team that values experience and practical knowledge

 

What Makes You a Great Fit?

You don't necessarily need a trade qualification, but you do need to understand machinery.

Ideally, you're someone who:

  • Has solid experience operating semi-automated manufacturing machinery

  • Can confidently make adjustments and solve minor mechanical issues

  • Takes pride in hitting production targets and producing quality work

  • Notices when equipment isn't performing as it should

  • Enjoys working in a team and taking responsibility

  • Has a strong attitude towards safety and teamwork

 

What's in It for You?

  • Permanent full-time employment with long-term stability

  • Early starts and early finish Fridays – get a head start on your weekend

  • Rewarding hourly permanent rate negotiable on experience

  • The opportunity to use and develop your technical skills

  • Career progression opportunities for operators who demonstrate initiative

  • A practical, hands-on manufacturing environment

 

Think You're a Cut Above the Average Operator?

We want someone who can do more than follow instructions. Someone who understands their equipment, takes pride in their work and wants to be recognised for their ability.

If you know your machines and know your worth, apply today.
