Maintenance Trades Assistant | Manufacturing Plant | Brisbane $36.00/hr casual, with a real path to full-time
We're a Brisbane manufacturer looking for a reliable Maintenance Trades Assistant to support our tradies and keep the plant running. This is hands‐on work in a busy workshop environment, and it suits someone who turns up on time, works safely, and takes pride in getting the job done. Start as a casual on $36.00 per hour, with a genuine move to full-time on offer for the right person.
The roster
Monday to Thursday, 8:00am to 4:00pm, and Friday 6:00am to 2:00pm. On-call or weekend work is possible but extremely infrequent.
What the role involves
You'll be assisting our tradespeople day to day, using a wide range of hand and power tools, and providing mechanical and electrical support across the factory floor. Welding is a core part of the work, so hands‐on welding knowledge or experience is essential. You'll work to safe work practices at all times, keep a close eye on detail, and be ready to lend a hand to both maintenance and production as needed.
What you'll need
- Welding knowledge or experience (mandatory), a valid forklift ticket (essential), and a current driver's licence
- Solid experience in a workshop and the manufacturing industry, confident across a variety of hand and power tools, with a sound understanding of safe work practices
- Reliable attendance and communication, strong work ethic, and the discipline to be on time, every time
What sets you apart
Mechanical and electrical factory support experience, effective time management, and the ability to work just as well on your own as in a team. We're after someone proactive who brings solutions to everyday challenges, is open to learning new ideas, and is genuinely motivated, reliable and punctual.
On offer
A steady casual role with a clear path to full-time, a consistent Monday to Friday roster with an early knock-off on Fridays, and the chance to build your skills alongside experienced tradespeople in a supportive plant.
