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.

- This is not a production line job and not basic fleet work. We:
- Work to tight defence specifications (e.g. APAS 0502 and related MIL/DEF(AUST) standards)
- Paint low-volume, high-complexity parts where first-pass quality and film-build control are non-negotiable

What you’ll be doing:

- Masking and sanding complex technical parts with tight tolerances for key product lines (laser rangefinders, displays and associated hardware)
- Using and maintaining QA tools:
- Visual and instrument-assisted gloss/colour checks
- Completing coating records, batch/lot traceability, rework tags and sign-offs accurately
- Identifying and reporting non-conformances, and helping drive root-cause fixes rather than repeat rework
- Spray gun, blast equipment,



oven and air supply condition

- Working with engineers and production to:

- Review new designs for paintability and masking strategy
- 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:

- High-tech work – you’re painting hardware that ends up on real defence platforms, not just another bumper
- Interesting variety – low-volume, high-mix work with new designs and challenging masking, not endless
repetition
- Great hours – 38-hour week over 4.5 days, finishing at noon on Fridays, no routine weekend work
- Good environment – clean, organised manufacturing facility on the central Gold Coast
- Support around you – dedicated prep team, engineering and manufacturing support – you’re not a one-
person show
- Growth path – prospect to grow your skills as the surface finishing capability grows
- Competitive pay – remuneration aligned with your experience and the level of responsibility

Due to the nature of our business only applicants who are Australian Citizens or Permanent Residents need apply.
