Aluminum Saw Operator & Factory Hand – Carrum Downs – Retractable Flyscreens
Custom manufacturing, no two jobs the same, and we will train you.
We make retractable screens to order at our Carrum Downs factory.
Each one is built for a specific opening, so the cut list changes with every job.
We need a saw operator who works to the millimetre, checks before the blade comes down, and sends parts to assembly that go together first time.
If you have run an aluminium saw before, you will be up to speed quickly.
If you have not, but you measure carefully and work safely, we will train you.
About Freedom Retractable Screens
We're an industry leader in retrofit retractable screens, with over 70 years of combined experience customising and installing doors and screens across greater Melbourne and Victoria.
Our products are Australian-made and defined by style, quality and intelligent innovation.
Our factory is in Carrum Downs.
We've grown every year for the past ten, we have more work in the pipeline than we've ever had, and we're now bringing more screen manufacturing in-house - which is exactly why this role exists.
What you'll do
Read job sheets and cut aluminium extrusion to length, from 6.5 m stock lengths down to finished parts

Check every cut before it moves on: length, square, clean edge, no burrs
Deburr, drill and prep parts where the job needs it
Handle powder-coated profiles without marking the finish
Sort, label and stage cut parts by job, so assembly can pick them up and go
Keep the saw area,



offcuts and stock racks in order, and tell us early when stock is running low
Unload extrusion deliveries and rack the stock
When the saws are quiet, help across the floor with assembly, packing and the mesh line
