If you’re chasing a stable, long-term day shift role where you can still earn strong money without sacrificing your evenings — this is it.
Join a well-established, privately owned FMCG manufacturer with a reputation for quality products, modern equipment, and a genuinely supportive team culture. Backed by continued growth and investment, this site operates with high-performing, well-maintained machinery and a leadership team that values input from the floor. This isn’t a “just keep it running” environment — you’ll be encouraged to think, improve, and influence how things are done.
Reporting to the Mechanical Supervisor, you’ll be a key part of a well-established maintenance team responsible for keeping production running efficiently across a busy food manufacturing site.
Your focus will be a mix of preventative maintenance and breakdown response, with a strong emphasis on improving plant reliability and minimising downtime. You’ll work closely with production teams on the floor, meaning this role suits someone who enjoys being visible, hands-on, and part of the operation. You’ll be working across processing and high-speed packaging lines, troubleshooting issues in real-time and identifying opportunities to improve performance, reliability, and safety.
Key Responsibilities - Carry out scheduled preventative maintenance to maximise plant uptime
- Diagnose mechanical faults quickly and perform effective repairs
- Respond to breakdowns with a calm, solutions-focused approach
- Maintain and service processing and packaging equipment
- Work closely with production teams to minimise disruption
- Identify and implement continuous improvement initiatives
- Ensure all work meets safety and food quality standards
- Accurately complete maintenance reports and documentation
- Contribute to a proactive, team-first maintenance culture
About You You’re a trade-qualified Mechanical Fitter with solid experience working across FMCG, food manufacturing, or other high-speed production environments. You bring strong fault-finding skills and a proactive approach to maintenance, with a clear understanding of preventative maintenance and plant reliability. Comfortable working directly on the production floor, you communicate well with operators and thrive in a hands-on, team-focused environment. You take pride in your workmanship, show up reliably, and maintain a strong commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
Why This Role Stands Out - True day shift lifestyle – no rotating rosters, be home every afternoon
- Consistent overtime available – including Saturdays for extra earnings
- Monthly RDO – built-in work/life balance
- Modern FMCG site – high-speed processing & packaging equipment
- Supportive leadership team – your ideas and improvements are valued
- Long-term stability with a growing Australian business
