Full Job Description

About the role

Join a 2026 AFR BOSS Best Places to Work Gold Winner and 2026 Sustainability Champion recognised by the World Steel Association. Play a key role in shaping our performance across our Wire business.

Reporting to the Production Supervisor and based at our Mayfield site, you will operate wiredrawing machinery and support wire production in a safe, team-focused environment. This is a fantastic opportunity to build a long-term career, with structured on-the-job training and progression opportunities as your skills develop.

What you will be doing:

Operate wiredrawing machinery to support safe and efficient wire production.
Load and unload steel rod using a forklift and assist with material movement throughout the production process.
Prepare rod ends for machine welding using grinders, hydraulic wire cutters and other hand tools.
Monitor machine performance and quality to meet production targets.
Identify and resolve basic production issues to keep operations running smoothly.
Follow and promote safe work practices while maintaining a clean and organised work area.

The base rate is $32.92 per hour, plus 10% shift loading. This role operates on a rotating Monday to Friday roster, with weekly rotation across:

Night Shift: 9:30pm – 5:30am
Day Shift: 5:30am – 1:30pm
Afternoon Shift: 1:30pm – 9:30pm

Flexibility to work all shifts is required.

You will be rewarded with:

Secure, full-time employment in a stable and well-established manufacturing business
Structured on-the-job training with no wire drawing experience required
Career progression opportunities, with advancement as skills develop
Supportive team environment with a strong focus on safety, teamwork and continuous learning

Primary Benefits:

We offer a range of benefits designed to support you at work and beyond:

Paid parental leave that goes further - 20 weeks paid Primary Carer Leave and 3 weeks Partner Leave, plus superannuation contributions during unpaid leave (eligibility applies)
Health cover at discounted rates - Access corporate rates with nib Health Insurance to support you and your family
Everyday savings - Access a wide range of employee discounts across major brands including retail, travel and lifestyle

What you will bring:

A positive attitude, strong work ethic and genuine willingness to learn new skills
Comfortable using hand tools and performing physically demanding work
Forklift (LF) licence or experience operating forklifts
Reliable transport, ability to work rotating shifts and successfully complete a pre-employment medical including drug and alcohol testing
Experience in manufacturing, warehousing, construction or other hands-on work is highly regarded but not essential

Even if you do not have direct manufacturing experience, we encourage you to apply. We are looking for motivated, reliable people who enjoy hands-on work and want to build a long-term career in a supportive team environment.

Why join us?

We offer more than just a job; we provide a dynamic environment built on three pillars that define our commitment to both our team and our industry.

Work with a greater purpose - join us on our pursuit of a sustainable future and contribute to our nation’s legacy.
Work well, live better – experience a safe, supportive and inclusive environment which values you as a whole person and where wellbeing matters.
Build your own future – grow and drive your own development to grow your skills. Everyday is an opportunity to grow.
