Your new company

  • Troubleshoot PLC-controlled systems and minimise downtime
  • Ensure compliance with safety and site standards


What you'll need to succeed

  • NSW Electrical License
  • Experience in automation, FMCG, warehousing, or manufacturing environments
  • Strong fault-finding skills across conveyors, robotics, or materials handling systems
  • Experience with Siemens PLCs (desirable)
  • Comfortable working across both project/commissioning and live production environments
  • Strong team player with a proactive mindset

What you'll get in return

  • Join a globally recognised automation powerhouse
  • Be part of a major automation project from day one
  • Gain rare exposure to installation, commissioning, and live operations
  • Work on fully automated machinery and robotics
  • Long-term career opportunity in a high-growth sector
