Roto-moulding Machine Operator - Dandenong, Australia - Galloway International Australia

Description

Full-time Casual Afternoon shift worker needed for full training as rotational moulding machine operator (polyethylene plastic products).

We will start the successful applicant as a full-time casual (38 hrs per week), with the long-term goal of making them permanent if they are a good fit.

For that reason, the desire for long-term (not just a year or two), full-time, permanent work will be considered an edge in any applicant.

Training will be provided _
on day shift_ until trainee is ready to work safely with mínimal supervision on afternoon shift. You will have an excellent trainer, but will ideally require high-level English comprehension to ensure you are trained safely and competently.

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 ).
