Fibreglass Production & Assembly Technician
Workforce Extensions Geelong is currently recruiting for an experienced Fibreglass Production & Assembly Technician to join the manufacturing team of a well-established industrial manufacturer based across sites in Corio and Hoppers Crossing.
This is a hands-on role within a busy manufacturing and assembly environment, with the successful candidate bringing practical fibreglass and composite experience into the production team.
We are particularly interested in hearing from people who have previously worked with fibreglass, resins, moulds, composites or similar materials.
Your experience doesn't necessarily need to come from the same industry.
Candidates from boat building, marine manufacturing, caravan manufacturing, automotive, composites, mould making or other fibreglass production environments are strongly encouraged to apply.
About the Role
Working as part of an experienced manufacturing team, you will be involved in the production, preparation, finishing and assembly of specialised manufactured components.
A key focus of the position will be completing fibreglass work internally, so we're looking for someone who has genuine hands-on exposure to the material and understands the practical processes involved.
Depending on your previous experience, duties may include:
Hand lay-up and laminating of fibreglass components
Preparing moulds prior to production
Waxing, cleaning and maintaining mould surfaces
Mixing, preparing and applying resins
Working with fibreglass matting and reinforcement materials
Applying gel coats and other surface finishes
Removing completed components from moulds
Cutting, trimming, grinding and finishing fibreglass products
Repairing or modifying fibreglass components where required
Preparing components for further manufacturing and assembly
Drilling,



measuring and fitting manufactured components
Using a range of hand and power tools
Assisting with mechanical and general product assembly
Reading measurements, drawings and production specifications
Inspecting completed work for quality and consistency
Identifying defects and completing finishing or rectification work
Assisting across other areas of the production floor when required
Maintaining appropriate PPE and safe handling procedures when working with fibreglass, resins and associated products
Maintaining a clean, safe and organised work area
What We're Looking For
Previous fibreglass experience is the key requirement for this position.
You don't need to be an expert in every aspect of fibreglass manufacturing, but you should have enough practical experience to be comfortable working with the product and understand the fundamentals involved.
Experience in any of the following would be highly regarded:
Fibreglass manufacturing or fabrication
Hand lay-up and laminating
Fibreglass moulding
Mould preparation
Gel coat application
Polyester, vinyl ester or epoxy resins
Fibreglass repairs
Composite manufacturing
Boat building or marine manufacturing
Pattern and mould making
Trimming and finishing composite products
We're also looking for someone who is comfortable being part of the broader manufacturing and assembly team.
This isn't a position where you'll necessarily be completing fibreglass work for eight hours every day,



so flexibility and a willingness to assist with other production and assembly duties will be important.

Has previous hands-on experience working with fibreglass or composite materials
Enjoys practical manufacturing and assembly work
Is confident using hand and power tools

Takes pride in the quality and finish of their work

Is looking for stable, ongoing employment
Hours & Location
Monday to Friday, primarirly 7:30am to 3:30pm.
The business operates across multiple Victorian manufacturing locations, and there may occasionally be a requirement to assist at another Melbourne-based facility.
Further information regarding this can be discussed confidentially during the recruitment process.
What's on Offer
$38 - $42 per hour, depending on skills and experience
Full-time hours, Monday to Friday
