$40–$55 per hour + overtime | Melbourne's south-east | Day shift, afternoon considered
If you set blow moulding machines for a living, whatever your title says — setter, technician, leading hand — this one is worth a look.
This is a busy floor. There are mould and die changes most days, and tooling is set up to run across machines, so changeovers are a core part of the job. If you like getting a job up to spec and handing it over running, you'll be at home here.
The money, plainly. $40 to $55 an hour base, depending on what you bring, with overtime paid on top. Saturday work is available most weeks, and it's your choice. It's a 38-hour week. There is also a second position for the right person.
You'll know this work
You'll already know your way around blow moulding machines and be comfortable setting and running them yourself. That includes:
- Mould and die changes on extrusion blow and/or stretch blow machines
- Set-ups and start-ups — getting the process right and handing over a job that is running properly
- Troubleshooting wall section, base, weight, dimensions and cycle, and working out what is actually causing the problem
- Material and colour changes
- First-off and in-process quality checks
- Planning changeovers with production so you know what's coming next
Your experience might be extrusion blow moulding, stretch blow moulding or both. If you're strong in one, apply. The business would rather find the right setter and give you time to learn the other equipment. Why this one is worth a look
- The business is expanding. More floor space and more capacity are coming, and these are current positions created by that growth.
- It's a quality operation. The business operates to ISO 9001 and food-grade standards, and getting every job running properly is what you'll be recognised for.
- You run your own day. Setters have flexible start times, arranged with production the day before around what the machines need.
- They promote from within and invest in their people.
- It's an established operation. The employer has been manufacturing in Melbourne for more than 25 years and is looking for someone to build a long career with them.
