Step into a secure, long-term Maintenance Electrician role within a leading FMCG manufacturing site. This is a business that continues to grow, invest heavily in automation, and upgrade its equipment — meaning you’ll be working with modern, well-maintained systems, not outdated plant.
This is a true day shift position, offering stability, strong hourly rates, and the ability to significantly boost your earnings through regular Saturday overtime — all while still being home every afternoon during the week. If you’re looking for a role where your technical ability is valued, your ideas are heard, and your work actually makes an impact on production performance, this is a strong next step.
Reporting to the Maintenance Supervisor, you will be responsible for maintaining and improving electrical systems across a fast-paced food manufacturing environment. You’ll play a key role in ensuring production lines remain operational, efficient, and safe.
This is a hands-on, production-floor focused role, where no two days are the same. You’ll be working across high-speed processing and packaging equipment, supporting breakdown response, preventative maintenance, and ongoing reliability improvements. You’ll also be actively involved in identifying root causes of faults, reducing repeat issues, and supporting continuous improvement initiatives across the site.
Key Responsibilities - Electrical fault finding, diagnostics, and breakdown response across production equipment
- Perform preventative maintenance on automated processing and packaging machinery
- Support production teams to minimise downtime and maintain output targets
- Maintain and repair motors, sensors, conveyors, and associated electrical systems
- Ensure all work is completed safely and in line with food manufacturing standards
- Accurately complete maintenance records, reports, and shift handovers
- Contribute to reliability improvements and root cause analysis of recurring issues
- Collaborate with mechanical trades and production teams to improve plant performance
About You You are a trade-qualified Electrician with experience in FMCG, manufacturing, or fast-paced industrial environments. You’re confident working on high-speed automated equipment and enjoy the challenge of diagnosing faults quickly under pressure. You bring strong technical knowledge across electrical systems, with the ability to interpret schematics, troubleshoot effectively, and keep production moving. You’re a team player who communicates well on the floor, takes ownership of your work, and is committed to safety, quality, and continuous improvement. Experience with PLC systems and food manufacturing environments will be highly regarded.
Why This Role Stands Out - Day shift only – consistent hours, no nights or rotating rosters
- Strong hourly rates + overtime opportunities every Saturday (optional)
- Monthly RDO – built-in work/life balance
- High-speed FMCG environment – modern, automated production lines
- Ongoing investment in plant & equipment
- Supportive, skilled maintenance team – strong collaboration across trades
- Long-term stability with a well-established Australian manufacturer
