Who are we:

Laserdyne Technologies Pty Ltd manufactures and develops state-of-the-art land, sea, and air-borne electro-optics systems for military and commercial applications. We are industry specialists in electro-optics, lasers, thin-film optics, electronics and mechanical systems. Established on the Gold Coast for more than 30 years, Laserdyne has a rich history of research, development, design and manufacture.

The opportunity:

We are looking for a spray paint prepper with experience in sanding, masking, cleaning and inspecting painted components.

o This is not a production line job and not basic fleet work. We:

o Work to tight defence specifications (e.g. APAS 0502 and related MIL/DEF(AUST) standards)

o Paint low-volume, high-complexity parts where first-pass quality and film-build control are non-negotiable

You’ll be part of a small skilled team, with the opportunity to advance and learn spray painting and other processes if you desire.

What you’ll be doing:

o Masking and sanding complex technical parts with tight tolerances for key product lines (laser rangefinders, displays and associated hardware)

o Using and maintaining QA tools:

o DFT gauges o Visual and instrument-assisted gloss/colour checks o Completing coating records, batch/lot traceability, rework tags and sign-offs accurately o Identifying and reporting non-conformances, and helping drive root-cause fixes rather than repeat rework o Spray gun, blast equipment, oven and air supply condition o Working with engineers and production to:





o Review new designs for paintability and masking strategy o Improve jigs, fixtures and handling to reduce damage and touch-ups

What we’re looking for:

You are an experienced, sander, masker, paint prepper who takes pride in your craft.

Why work for us:

o High-tech work – you’re painting hardware that ends up on real defence platforms, not just another bumper o Interesting variety – low-volume, high-mix work with new designs and challenging masking, not endless repetition o Great hours – 38-hour week over 4.5 days, finishing at noon on Fridays, no routine weekend work o Good environment – clean, organised manufacturing facility on the central Gold Coast o Support around you – dedicated prep team, engineering and manufacturing support – you’re not a one-

person show o Growth path – opportunity to grow your skills as the surface finishing capability grows o Competitive pay – remuneration aligned with your experience and the level of responsibility

How to apply:

Please click Apply and upload your resume, along with a short cover letter that tells us:

o The environments you’ve painted in (e.g. defence, automotive, Cerakote/custom, industrial)

o Your experience with 2-pack polyurethane and Cerakote o An example of a challenging job where your attention to detail made the difference

If you are a reliable painter who wants your work to really matter, we would like to talk to you.
