We're seeking a practically minded person with an interest in science, chemistry or industrial technology for a Laboratory Tester / Sampler position within the Raw Materials Investigation Laboratory at Port Kembla Steelworks.
This is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable industrial experience, working alongside experienced scientific and technical specialists in one of Australia's most significant manufacturing operations.
You'll receive training in the sampling, preparation, testing and analysis of raw materials used in steelmaking, including iron ore and coal, combining practical hands-on work with scientific testing and laboratory equipment.

This opportunity would particularly suit someone with a Certificate IV in Laboratory Techniques or similar practical technical qualification.
Science or chemistry graduates, and undergraduates with suitable availability, are also encouraged to apply.
Ideally, you'll have:
- Positive practical skills and an interest in science or technology.
- A willingness to undertake physically active, hands-on work, including material sampling and handling.
- Good attention to detail, reliability and a willingness to learn.
- Basic computer skills and a current driver's licence.
Previous laboratory experience isn't essential. We're more interested in your practical approach, attitude and willingness to learn.
Why Apply?
This is an opportunity to put your technical training or scientific studies into practice, gaining experience in a major industrial environment that could provide a valuable foundation for your future career.
The position is a casual engagement, initially expected to continue until at least June 2027, with the possibility of extension depending on operational requirements.
