Looking for more than just your next job?

AI, data centres, cloud technology and the way we connect are changing rapidly, and behind it all is the infrastructure that keeps data moving.

At AFL we make the cable and connectivity solutions that help connect our world and we're looking for reliable, hands-on people who want to learn, develop new skills and build a long-term career in manufacturing.

You'll learn how to operate the equipment used to manufacture fibre optic cable that helps connect homes, businesses and critical infrastructure.

You'll work alongside experienced operators who'll help you build your skills across our production lines. As your capability grows, so does the opportunity to develop and progress.

What you'll do:

- Set up and operate cable production and extrusion equipment

- Monitor production and check product quality

- Complete in-process testing and measurements

- Follow job cards, production schedules and specifications

- Identify and troubleshoot production issues

- Support cable winding, drum changes and material movement

- Work safely as part of an experienced production team

What we're looking for:
