This is your chance to play a role in something big and grow your career while you do it.
Our Queanbeyan, NSW workshop makes the parts that go into AI infrastructure builds.
You'll run the machines that produce them, and you'll make sure every piece leaves the floor right the first time.
No qualifications needed to start.
The opportunity
Your day starts with a set of drawings and a job to get through.
You'll set up the machine and tooling, dial in the settings, check your material, then run the cycle and keep an eye on it.
If something looks off, you pull it up early.
Between runs you'll swap tooling, check your work against spec and log what you've done.
On the more technical set-ups you'll have a qualified tradesperson beside you showing you how it's done.
Clear standards, steady work, and a workshop where people take pride in what they turn out.

Running machines through full production cycles and watching for anomalies or deviations
