Mechanically minded? Enjoy fault finding, troubleshooting and working with automated production equipment?

Century Yuasa Batteries is looking for experienced, hands-on people to join our Manufacturing Technician Program at our Carole Park facility.

If you have experience operating, setting up or troubleshooting automated manufacturing equipment and enjoy solving problems, this could be the opportunity for you.

You don't need to be a qualified tradesperson. We're more interested in your practical experience, mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn.

This is more than a traditional machine operator role. As a Manufacturing Technician, you'll operate production equipment while taking greater responsibility for machine performance and reliability.

You'll also have the flexibility to support different machines across the production line, particularly when more complex equipment requires attention or technical issues arise.

Working closely with Team Leaders and Maintenance, you'll play an important role in keeping our manufacturing operations running safely, efficiently and consistently. This position will work a 12-hour rotating roster (days and nights)

Our Business

Century Yuasa Batteries is Australia's oldest and most recognised battery manufacturer, with nearly 100 years of experience designing and manufacturing batteries.

We employ over 650 people and manufacture some of Australia's most recognised battery brands, including Century Batteries – the official battery of the V8 Supercar Series

What You'll Be Doing

- Operating automated manufacturing equipment safely and efficiently.




- Troubleshooting machine faults and resolving issues within your capabilities.
- Supporting complex equipment and responding to technical issues across the production line.
- Carrying out machine adjustments, setups and changeovers.
- Completing routine machine care, inspections and preventative maintenance activities.
- Working with Maintenance to resolve recurring faults and improve equipment reliability.

What We're Looking For

- Ideally 5+ years' experience in a manufacturing or industrial production environment.
- Experience working with automated or semi-automated manufacturing equipment.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and hands-on problem-solving skills.
- Experience in fault finding, troubleshooting or machine adjustments.
- A proactive attitude and willingness to learn and develop new skills.
- Good communication, attention to detail, teamwork and a commitment to safety and quality.
- Reliable, punctual and available to work a 12-hour rotating roster covering days and nights.

Experience as a Machine Operator, Machine Setter, Trades Assistant, Production Technician or in maintenance support would be highly regarded. No trade qualification required. Practical experience and mechanical ability are what matter.

Training and Development





Our structured Manufacturing Technician Program provides hands-on training in fault finding, mechanical fundamentals, preventative maintenance, machine adjustments and equipment reliability.

You'll also have the opportunity to increase your hourly rate through our skills based pay progression system as you develop current competencies and achieve the required sign-offs.

What's On Offer

- $39.00/hr including 25% shift loading ($31.20 base rate).
