Opira is a Brisbane-based leader in laboratory products and services. We hold NATA accreditation in Controlled Settings — testing and certifying biosafety cabinets, laminar flow units, fume cupboards, HEPA filters and cleanrooms for hospitals, universities, research institutes and government facilities across Queensland.

The role — and the deal

This is a hands‑on, field‑based job, and we train you from the ground up. You’ll travel to client sites around Brisbane (occasionally regional QLD) to test, certify, service and repair specialist lab equipment — biosafety cabinets, fume cupboards, centrifuges, incubators, ultra‑low‑temperature freezers, particle counters and more.

You don’t need to have done this before. If you’ve got a solid technical trade and the right attitude, we’ll teach you our NATA‑accredited methods and put you through the certifications. You walk away building a portable, in‑demand NATA qualification and a long‑term career in a specialised field.

Who we’re after

A background in one of: electrical, instrumentation, HVAC / refrigeration, biomedical, or a related technical trade.



More importantly, someone who:
Follows through and gets the job done without being chased
Works problems methodically and doesn’t give up when it’s fiddly
Takes pride in doing things properly
Can manage their own day and work unsupervised
Deals with clients professionally

You’ll need
Ability to obtain a Blue Card
Willingness to have the vaccinations some lab sites require
OK with occasional after‑hours work and travel within QLD (paid as overtime)
Basic computer skills (Simpro a bonus)
HVAC / refrigeration experience or a restricted / limited electrical licence is a real plus

What we offer
Overtime and call‑out paid on top for after‑hours and travel work
Fully maintained company work vehicle (tools of trade; very limited personal use) and mobile phone
We pay for your NATA certification and train you in our methods
A genuine long‑term career in a specialised, in‑demand trade — not a stop‑gap
