Production Machine Operator – Magnet Manufacturing
Prestons, NSW | Full-Time, 38 hrs/week | $35–$38/hr + overtime + end-of-year bonus
Ever wondered where fridge magnets come from?
Wonder no more — they come from us.
We're an established Australian manufacturer supplying magnets and magnetic products to printers, real estate agents and businesses right across the country, and we're looking for a hands-on machine operator to join our production team.
This is a genuine all-rounder role for someone who likes variety, takes pride in their work, and wants to master proper manufacturing equipment — not stand in one spot pressing the same button all day.
What You'll Be Doing
Operating our printing and laminating machinery to produce finished magnetic sheet
Running our specialist magnet autobond machine — full training provided on this one, as there aren't many of them around
Operating the cutting press to punch magnets into shape
Breaking up cut shapes and packing finished product into boxes, ready for dispatch
Carrying out routine maintenance on equipment and machinery to keep everything running smoothly
Warehouse duties — stock management, goods in and out, keeping things organised
Forklift driving
Quality control — checking product off the machines and making sure only good stock goes out the door
General housekeeping — keeping the factory floor clean, safe and tidy




Why You'll Like Working Here
Solid, transparent pay.
$32–$38 per hour to start, with paid overtime available and an end-of-year bonus on top.
Real variety.
Machinery one hour, forklift the next, QC after lunch.
The days move quickly.
Skills that stack up.
You'll learn specialist equipment most operators never touch, which makes you more valuable every month you're here.
Small, stable team.
We're a locally owned Australian business, not a faceless factory.
You'll know everyone by name, deal directly with the owners, and your work will actually be noticed.
Job security.
People have been sticking magnets on fridges for decades and they're not stopping.
Steady product, steady orders, steady work.
Who We're Looking For
Experience in the printing industry, or a similar background operating production machinery, will put you at the front of the queue
A current forklift licence (or willingness to obtain one)
Mechanically minded — comfortable doing routine machine maintenance and troubleshooting
A positive eye for detail and quality — you notice when something's not right
Physically fit and happy with hands-on work, including lifting and packing
Reliable, punctual and safety-conscious — you take pride in a clean, well-run floor
