Join Our Team: Production Operators

We are currently facing a unique "problem" — we’re growing faster than we can promote! Because we have a deficit of internal candidates for our Machine Operator (Automs) positions, we are opening the doors for direct external hires.

This isn't your standard assembly line role. This is a position designed for those who have a knack for mechanics and want a clear, structured path to a permanent career.

The Opportunity

You will begin with an intensive 6-week General Operator training program to learn our fundamentals. Once you've mastered the basics, you will transition into specialised Automs training:

  • Trial Period: 6 months (Training + Experience)
  • The Goal: Conversion to a full-time permanent position upon successful completion.
  • The Pay: This is a high-skill tier (SK4), matching our Material Handler rates.

Your Daily Impact

As a Specialist Operator, you are the heartbeat of the production cell. Your responsibilities include:

  • Technical Oversight: Managing component hoppers and ensuring the cell remains fueled for production.
  • Quality Control: Performing vital checks on assembled products to maintain our high standards.
  • Output Management: Precision bagging and boxing of finished goods.
  • Problem Solving: Basic troubleshooting, responding to system alarms, and performing tooling changes during job changeovers.

Who We’re Looking For

We need "switched-on" individuals who don't just want to push a button, but want to understand how the machine works. You should be:

  • Mechanically Minded: You enjoy understanding how parts fit together and function.
  • A Team Player: You thrive in a collaborative environment where everyone pulls together.
  • Cool Under Pressure: You can maintain focus and quality in medium-to-high pressure scenarios.
  • Quality Obsessed: You take pride in ensuring every item leaving your station is perfect.
  • Flexible: You are available for a reasonable amount of overtime to help us meet our goals.
  • Day, Afternoon and Night Shifts available.

Ready to level up your career? If you have the mechanical aptitude and the drive to move into a specialist role, we want to hear from you. Please contact Kris on 0460 296 371 for more information or email kris.maroney@randstad.com.au.
