Looking for a Toolmaker role with plenty of variety?
We're recruiting an experienced Toolmaker to join a well-established Australian manufacturer, working within a six-person engineering and maintenance team supporting a large manufacturing site.
This is a hands-on role split between press tooling, machining and machinery maintenance - so you won't be stuck doing the same thing every day.
THE ROLE
Around 50-60% of the role is toolmaking, including:
- Making current press tools and components from scratch
- Repairing and modifying existing tooling
- Surface grinding and sharpening
- Turning and honing roll-forming rollers
- Slotting and precision machining
- CNC machining - Fanuc experience is a bonus
- Working from AutoCAD drawings
The other 40-50% is hands-on machinery maintenance, including breakdowns, preventative maintenance and mechanical fault finding across production and roll-forming equipment.
You'll also need some basic hydraulic knowledge.
ABOUT YOU
We're looking for someone with:
- Trade qualification as a Toolmaker
- Strong press tooling experience
- Surface grinding and sharpening experience
- CNC machining experience
- Good mechanical and fault-finding skills
- A willingness to get involved with machinery maintenance
Roll-forming experience would be great, but isn't essential.
THE PERKS
- Annual access to the company's Gold Coast apartment
- Access to the company motorhome for holidays and getaways
- Stable, long-term position
- Plenty of variety - tooling, CNC and maintenance
There is also some optional regional and interstate travel available, with the team supporting sites across Newcastle, South Coast NSW and Victoria.
If you're a Toolmaker who likes variety, enjoys making and repairing tooling and doesn't mind getting your hands dirty with machinery maintenance, we'd like to hear from you.
