Trainee Production Worker / Machine Operator

Looking for a hands-on job where you can learn real skills and build a career?

Guardian Building Products is looking for a motivated person to join our production team. No previous manufacturing experience is required – if you're reliable, keen to learn and have a good attitude, we'll provide the training.

You'll get the opportunity to learn how to operate a range of modern production machinery while working with building products supplied to projects across Queensland.

What you'll learn

• CNC machine operation
• Waterjet cutting
• Panel saw and sheet processing equipment
• Working with fibre cement and compact laminate products
• Reading measurements, drawings and cutting lists
• Quality checking finished products
• Packing and preparing customer orders
• Forklift operation
• General production and warehouse work

As you gain experience, you'll be trained to set up and operate machinery independently and develop your skills across different areas of our production facility.

What we're looking for

You don't need years of experience. We're looking for someone who:

• Turns up on time and is reliable
• Is keen to learn
• Enjoys practical, hands-on work
• Has good attention to detail
• Can accurately read measurements
• Is comfortable learning to operate machinery
• Works well with others
• Takes pride in doing a good job

A forklift licence or previous factory, construction or manufacturing experience is a bonus, but definitely not essential.

Why join us?

• Full-time, stable position
• Monday to Friday
• No weekend work
• Full on-the-job training
• Learn CNC and waterjet operation
• Variety of work – you're not doing the same thing all day
• Small, friendly team
• Opportunity to learn new skills and progress

We're more interested in finding the right person with the right attitude than someone who already knows everything.

If you're ready to learn, work hard and build some valuable skills, we'd like to hear from you.

Apply through SEEK with your resume and tell us a little about yourself.
