About Us

We help keep Australia's exploration rigs drilling by manufacturing high-quality drill rods and associated components. Our brand is well regarded throughout the industry for delivering quality products.

We're a down-to-earth, close-knit team that values reliability, teamwork and taking pride in what we do. As a growing manufacturing business, we're continually investing in better equipment, processes and ways of working.

About the Role

We're looking for a reliable and motivated CNC lathe and mill operator to join our production team in Henderson.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Operating CNC lathes using established programs and procedures.

• Loading and unloading components and monitoring machining operations.

• Checking finished parts against drawings and specifications using measuring equipment.

• Making basic machine adjustments and tool offset corrections where competent and authorised.

• Monitoring tooling condition and assisting with tool changes.

• Maintaining consistent production output while meeting quality standards.

• Keeping your work area clean, organised and safe.

• Working with the team to identify opportunities to improve productivity and reduce waste.

You'll be working across a mix of repeat production runs and smaller batches, so being organised, adaptable and able to maintain a good pace will be important.

About You

You take pride in producing quality work, pay attention to detail and enjoy being part of a productive team.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Previous experience operating CNC machines, preferably CNC lathes.

• Confidence using measuring equipment such as verniers, micrometres and gauges.

• The ability to follow work instructions and carry out basic quality checks.

• A good understanding of workshop safety practices.

• A reliable work ethic and a willingness to learn.

• The ability to work independently while contributing to a close-knit team.

Experience with Mazak CNC machines will be highly regarded but is not essential.

You don't need to be a qualified machinist to succeed in this role. We're more interested in your practical experience, attitude, attention to detail and willingness to do a good job.
