Afternoon Shift Injection Moulding Technician

About the Role

This role sits within an automated injection moulding operation running IML and robotics. The afternoon shift needs a moulder who can keep it running — setting, correcting and keeping machines producing, and picking up a process that starts to drift before it turns into scrap.

You'll have a capable, long-serving team around you and a business that wants you to do well in the job.

What You'll Be Doing

• Setting up, adjusting and optimising injection moulding machines across the shift

• Troubleshooting processing faults and correcting them on the floor

• Supporting tool changes and changeovers

• Monitoring quality, output and machine performance through the shift

• Working alongside operators to keep standards consistent

• Handing over cleanly to night shift and flagging anything unresolved

The Environment

• Automated injection moulding and in-mould labelling, with robotics and camera inspection through the plant

• High-volume food packaging with steady, consistent workflow

• A settled team, including people who have been with the business for years and know the plant inside out — good people to learn from

• Continued investment in equipment and technology, and an interest in seeing people do well

• Afternoon shift, with day shift and maintenance close at hand

What We're Looking For

• Solid hands-on injection moulding experience — setting, processing and fault-finding

• Confident diagnosing and correcting processing issues on the floor

• Someone the operators can come to when a machine isn't right

• Exposure to IML, robotics or high-speed packaging is a real advantage

• Steady and reliable on a permanent afternoon roster

• Full Australian working rights and currently based in Australia

What's On Offer

• $90,000 – $103,000 + super (includes afternoon shift loading)

• Permanent full-time role in a growing operation

• Modern automated plant with ongoing investment

• A team that will back you, in a business that develops people from within

• Melbourne northern suburbs — practical commute from the north or north-west

Next Step

If you know your way around a moulding floor and you want a shift you can genuinely run, alongside people worth working with — this is worth a conversation.
