Workshop & Operations All-Rounder

Maker Store is an engineering and technology company supplying CNC machines, 3D printers, robotics, linear motion components, electronics and other equipment to customers across Australia. We are looking for a practical, hands-on All-Rounder to join our team and help with the wide range of jobs involved in running a growing engineering business.

This is a hands-on, varied position where no two days are necessarily the same.

You might be building industrial workbenches and furniture one day, assembling a CNC machine the next, preparing products for customers, fixing something around the workshop, or helping with whatever needs to get done.

We are looking for someone who is practical, mechanically minded, reliable and willing to have a go.

• Building industrial furniture, workbenches and workstations

• Assembling CNC machines, 3D printers and other equipment

• Cutting, drilling, fastening and assembling aluminium extrusion and other materials

• Using hand and power tools

• Picking, packing and preparing orders when required

• Moving and organising stock and equipment

• Helping with warehouse and workshop organisation

• Basic maintenance and repairs

• Assisting with product testing and preparation

• Loading and unloading deliveries

• Helping with installations and projects

• Keeping the workshop and work areas clean and organised

• Taking on general jobs and projects as they arise

You don't necessarily need formal qualifications. We care more about your ability to work with your hands, solve problems and get things done.

The ideal person will:

• Be mechanically minded and practical

• Be comfortable using hand and power tools

• Have good basic DIY and fabrication skills

• Be able to read basic drawings or instructions

• Have good attention to detail

• Be physically capable of lifting and moving equipment

• Be reliable, punctual and hardworking

• Be comfortable working independently

• Be willing to learn new skills

• Have a "I'll figure it out" attitude

• Take pride in producing good-quality work

Experience with any of the following would be useful:

• Aluminium extrusion

• CNC machines

• 3D printers

• Welding or fabrication

• Mechanical assembly

• Electrical/electronic equipment

• Furniture or workstation construction

• Warehousing

• Manufacturing or engineering

• Forklift operation

This is a great opportunity for someone who doesn't want to sit behind a desk all day and enjoys working on different projects.

You'll be working with interesting engineering products and equipment and will have the opportunity to learn about CNC, automation, robotics, 3D printing and manufacturing.

If you're a practical person who enjoys building, fixing, making and solving problems, we'd like to hear from you.

Apply with your resume and a short note telling us about your practical experience and the types of things you've built, repaired or worked on.
