Casual | 3 Days per Week Initially | Altona, VIC

Looking for a practical role where quality matters?

Chimera Development is a specialist Australian manufacturer designing and producing premium motorsport products. We manufacture CAD-engineered, CNC-cut roll cage kits, fabricate complete roll cages, and develop a growing range of performance components for race and enthusiast vehicles.

We're a small, growing business that takes pride in doing things properly. From preparing materials and assembling kits to assisting with the fabrication and installation of roll cages, every job contributes to building products we're proud to put our name on.
