About Imaginelle

Imaginelle manufactures innovative skincare, personal care, beauty and pet care products for a growing portfolio of some of Australia’s most sustainable and high-profile brands from our GMP-accredited manufacturing facility in Cardiff, NSW.

Our team is the driving force behind our success. Our long-term vision is to become a leading manufacturer of sustainable cosmetic and personal care products for purpose-driven brands both locally and globally.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on and mechanically minded Filling & Packaging Equipment Maintenance & Reliability Technician to join our growing production team.

This is more than a standard machine operator role.

We are looking for someone who enjoys understanding how machinery works, setting up and fine-tuning equipment, diagnosing problems and finding practical solutions to keep production running efficiently.

You will play a key hands-on role in the setup, operation, changeover, troubleshooting and optimisation of our filling and packaging equipment across a broad range of cosmetic and personal care products.

The ideal candidate will have previous experience with filling or packaging machinery and a strong mechanical aptitude, ideally with exposure to pneumatics, pumps, valves, sensors and basic electrical fault finding .

You don't necessarily need to be a qualified fitter or electrician. We are looking for someone who is naturally mechanically minded, enjoys troubleshooting machinery and takes pride in getting equipment running at its best.

Key Responsibilities

- Set up, adjust and operate liquid, cream and semi-viscous filling and packaging machinery




- Perform production line setups and changeovers between different products and packaging formats
- Troubleshoot filling, capping, labelling, conveyor and other production equipment
- Diagnose mechanical and operational issues and make practical adjustments to minimise downtime
- Work with pneumatic systems, pumps, valves, cylinders, sensors and other machine components
- Assist with basic electrical fault finding involving sensors, switches, connections and machine controls
- Fine-tune machinery to improve filling accuracy, reliability, output and overall line performance
- Assist with preventative maintenance and identify potential equipment issues before they result in breakdowns
- Complete equipment strip-down, cleaning, reassembly and preparation between production runs
- Identify opportunities to improve changeover times, efficiency and equipment reliability
- Complete all required production and GMP documentation accurately
- Ensure products meet quality standards and customer specifications
- Work closely with production, QA/QC and management to ensure smooth manufacturing operations
- Support and guide other production operators in the correct operation of machinery
- Maintain high standards of safety, cleanliness and housekeeping

About You

We are particularly interested in someone with:

- Previous hands-on experience operating, setting or troubleshooting filling, packaging or automated production machinery
- Strong mechanical aptitude and practical problem-solving ability
- Experience performing machine setups, adjustments and production changeovers
- An understanding of pneumatic equipment and systems
- Experience working with equipment such as pumps, valves, pneumatic cylinders, sensors, conveyors or similar industrial machinery
- Basic electrical understanding and confidence identifying issues with sensors, switches and simple machine controls
- The ability to diagnose why a machine isn’t performing correctly and work methodically toward a solution
- A proactive approach to reducing downtime and improving equipment performance




- Strong attention to detail and pride in producing high-quality work
- The ability to work autonomously, show initiative and contribute positively within a team

Experience in cosmetics, pharmaceutical, food, beverage, chemical, FMCG or other filling and packaging environments would be highly regarded.

A forklift licence and previous experience with GMP manufacturing are advantageous but not essential.

Recognition & Celebration

Your contribution won't go unnoticed. We believe in recognising great work and celebrating achievements and wins as a team.

Career Growth Opportunities

We are a growing Australian manufacturing business looking for long-term team members who want to develop their skills and grow alongside the company.

Variety & Hands-On Problem Solving

Our diverse range of products and packaging formats means this isn't a role where you'll simply stand at the same machine performing the same task every day.

You'll have the chance to work with different machinery, products and packaging formats while continually developing your technical and troubleshooting skills.
