Full Job Description

Sick of running the same part on repeat? Come and do real machining.

Are you a machinist who's sick of churning out the same part a thousand times over? Or fixing the same plant for what seems like an eternity? Do you want a job where no two weeks look the same and your trade actually gets used?

If that's you, keep reading.

Metro Machining is a Melbourne engineering shop — manual machining, line boring, fitting and fabrication — based in Campbellfield, with a second branch down in Gippsland. We do real work for serious customers: mining, civil, industrial, food processing, general manufacturing. The jobs where the plant's down, the part has to be spot-on first time, and the customer is waiting on us to get them running again.

WHY YOU'LL WANT THIS JOB

- Proper variety. Manual lathes, horizontal borers and mills, one-offs and small batches — you won't be making the same part until you're bored stupid.

- Line boring is where the best work is — our highest-value game, and most of our machinists are qualified on it. Want to get into it? We'll get you there.

- Welding and fabrication experience is highly advantageous — and you'll likely be upskilled into it anyway.

- You'll be told what good looks like, then left to get on with it. We back our tradies.

THE REAL DEAL — THIS IS FIELD WORK

Our work happens where the broken machines are: mine sites, gas fields, logging coups in the high country, power stations. When a customer's plant is down, we answer — that means overtime when the job demands it, weekend shifts, and stints working away.

Here's the other side of that coin:

- The money follows the work. Site rate on top of your base, overtime on top of that — the big weeks are where our machinists do seriously well.

- The jobs are the stories you'll tell for years. Our crew has machined a bucket wheel the size of a building, restored the engine that powers an island nation, and run a 124-bore program in the Moomba desert.

- Freedom, trust and autonomy. Once you've proven yourself, you'll run your own jobs solo — your truck, your site, your call. Fully kitted trucks, proper planning behind you, and the workshop only ever a phone call away.

If you want your weekends guaranteed quiet, this isn't your job. If you want your trade tested on real machines in real places — and to be paid like it — it absolutely is.

PAY — WHERE YOU START ISN'T WHERE YOU STAY

The advertised $36–$40/hr + $6/hr site rate is the entry-level range — for a solid fitter/machinist coming in with no line boring experience while we train you up. Experienced mobile line borers earn significantly more — tell us your number and your track record and we'll have a straight conversation. Everything's negotiable.

You'd report to Damian, our Ops Manager. Metro's owned by Pat O'Hara and Karl Hansen, who are hands-on in the business — in the trenches with the boys.
