Somerton, Melbourne, Australia
Lead technical operator
Who We're Looking For
A technically sharp, hands‑on leader who thrives on solving problems, inspiring a small team, and turning great ideas into even better results. You'll take the reins on a new multi‑million‑dollar washline.
This is your chance to drive big improvements heading into 2026, make production smoother, safer, and smarter, and take ownership of a small but mighty team of 3 operators.
Shift times:
Day Shift: 6AM-2PM
Afternoon Shift 2PM-10PM
Night Shift 10PM-6AM
What You'll Do
* Lead your team like a coach, not a manager – develop, mentor, and inspire your people every shift
* Own your shift's Safety, Quality, Cost, Delivery & People (SQCDP) metrics
* Troubleshoot, optimise, and get hands‑on with a state‑of‑the‑art manufacturing line
* Collaborate across shifts to create a smooth, high‑performance operation
* Drive continuous improvement initiatives that make work smarter, safer, and more sustainable
* Contribute to the mission to reduce, reuse, recycle – and do it better than ever
Who You Are
* A proactive problem‑solver with mechanical or production know‑how
* A natural leader with empathy – your team trusts and respects you
* Flexible enough to work day, afternoon, or night shifts
* Committed to safety, quality, and environmental excellence
* Forklift and front‑end loader licences are a bonus
Why This Role Stands Out
* $43.75/hr + temp‑to‑perm opportunity
* Make a real impact on the circular economy and sustainable packaging
* Work in a company that truly cares about its people and invests in your growth
* Be part of major site improvements heading into 2026
* Feel heard: your ideas and initiatives will be valued and actioned
* Leave your mark on a business that keeps critical recycling running while the world sleeps
Apply now and take the lead in shaping the future of sustainable packaging
