This role is intentionally flexible – you\'ll be trained across multiple areas and may be asked to move between tasks or lend a hand to other team members and departments as production needs change from day to day.

The role is fast-paced and physical, involving small powered hand tools, material handling and teamwork to meet daily production targets. All employees are expected to comply with WH&S legislation and company safety policies and procedures.

• Maintain saw equipment and report any irregularities or malfunctions

• Experience operating saws or machinery an advantage (or willingness to learn)
• Basic maths skills for accurate measurements and material calculations
• Strong attention to detail and quality focus

• Able to follow written and verbal instructions in English
• Able to work both autonomously and as part of a small team
