Casual Day shift worker needed for full training as rotational moulding machine operator (making polyethylene plastic products).
We will start the successful applicant as CASUAL, with required work permissions for at least 24 hours per week (48 hours per fortnight). The long-term goal would be to make them permanent if they are a good fit. For that reason, the desire to stay for more than a year or two will be considered an advantage in any applicant.
Training will be provided. You will receive comprehensive training, but will ideally require high-level English comprehension to ensure you are trained safely and competently.
Our work environment is one of the best you'll find, with a reasonable workload, little interference from management, and no toxic workers -- quite a unique workplace from me and many others' experience. A huge perk!
Polyethylene and the rotational moulding production process to cook it into parts is completely safe (and food-grade), in terms of what will be handled and inhaled. Basic protective gear will be required of course: hi-vis work clothes and steel-capped work boots (we provide these occasionally for permanent workers), and protective consumables where needed such as ear plugs, gloves, and masks (these are provided by us).
IMPORTANT: If you do not consider yourself a hard worker with a good work ethic, please do not apply, we are not interested! (Hopefully we can find a genuine worker in the sea of bludgers society pumps out these days…).
