Senior Injection Moulding Technician – Night Shift

This role sits within an automated injection moulding operation running IML and robotics. Night shift needs its most experienced moulder: the person who gets a stopped machine running again, keeps every process on target through the night, and builds the operators' skills as they work.

You'll work alongside the night shift leader, with a capable team around you.

What They're Building

The business invests heavily in equipment and automation so the technology handles the repetitive work and people bring real skill to theirs. Operators are developed to understand the process, and the plant is moving towards data-driven moulding, using real production data from connected machines to optimise performance.

What You'll Be Doing

First response when a machine stops: diagnosing the fault, recovering the machine and getting it back into production

Setting up, adjusting and optimising injection moulding machines across the shift

Troubleshooting processing faults and correcting them on the floor

Carrying out tool changes and changeovers

Training operators on the floor and building their skills shift by shift

Monitoring quality, output and machine performance, including camera inspection

Taking over from afternoon shift and handing over cleanly to day shift

The Setting





Automated injection moulding and in-mould labelling, with robotics and camera inspection through the plant

High-volume food packaging with steady, consistent workflow

A settled team, including people who have been with the business for years

Monday to Friday nights, 10.30pm to 6.30am, with weekends free

Initial training on day and afternoon shift to learn the machines and the production flow

What We're Looking For

Several years of hands-on injection moulding experience as a technician, setter or processor

Exposure to IML, robotics, vision systems or thin-wall packaging is a real advantage

Ready for a permanent night roster

Full Australian working rights and currently based in Australia

What's On Offer

From $112,000 + super (includes night shift loading)

Up to $80 a month towards a mobile phone

Permanent full-time role in a growing operation

A business that develops people from within

Melbourne northern suburbs, a practical commute from the north or north-west

Next Step

If you're the moulder others on the floor come to when a machine stops, and you're looking for a permanent night shift where that experience will be put to good use, I'd like to hear from you.
