Maintenance Fitter

Job Description

BlueScope is an Australian-born global success story spanning 15 countries. Our team of over 16,500 people is our strength and we want our people to be safe, successful and well. We’re leaders and innovators in transforming steel into smart products and solutions that support society, today and in the future. We’re proud of brands, like COLORBOND ® steel that inspire and protect everything from hospitals to bridges and stadiums.

The Opportunity

Our Novar Gardens team at Lysaght is looking for a Maintenance Fitter to join us, working across a range of manufacturing equipment, from planned maintenance and breakdown repairs to machinery upgrades and new installations. Made in Australia since 1921, Lysaght manufactures steel building products used across Australian homes and major commercial and industrial projects.

You’ll work across roll-forming machinery, purlin mills, guillotines and other manufacturing equipment, with a mix of planned maintenance, fault finding and breakdown repairs. There is also the opportunity to be involved in equipment upgrades, new installations and capital projects, giving you work beyond the day-to-day maintenance program. You’ll work closely with fitters, electricians and production teams to solve equipment problems and improve reliability across the site.

This permanent, full-time role works a weekly rotation between day shift (6:30am to 2:30pm) and afternoon shift (2:30pm to 10:30pm), with applicable afternoon-shift loading. There are also regular opportunities for planned overtime, including occasional Saturday work, and no formal on-call roster.

What Will You Do?

Working across planned maintenance, breakdown repairs and equipment improvements, you'll:

• carry out preventative and corrective maintenance on manufacturing equipment
• investigate mechanical faults, troubleshoot breakdowns and complete repairs
• safely isolate equipment and follow site safety procedures, including JSEAs and permit requirements
• contribute to planned shutdowns, machinery upgrades and capital projects
• use maintenance management systems to record work and track equipment maintenance
• identify opportunities to improve equipment reliability and prevent recurring breakdowns

More About You

You're a trade-qualified Mechanical Fitter or Fitter & Turner with experience maintaining manufacturing or industrial equipment. You enjoy fault finding, solving mechanical problems and working with others to keep equipment running reliably. You'll bring:

• experience maintaining manufacturing, processing or production equipment
• sound mechanical fault-finding skills, including preventative and breakdown maintenance
• a good understanding of safe maintenance practices, equipment isolation and permit requirements
• the ability to work independently and communicate effectively with maintenance and production teams
• basic computer skills and the ability to use maintenance management systems

Experience with hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, machining or licences such as forklift and EWP would be an advantage, but isn't essential. If you're a capable fitter with a willingness to learn, we'll support you in developing the additional skills needed for the role.

Why Join Our Team?

At Novar Gardens, you'll join a small maintenance team with opportunities to build your technical skills and contribute to machinery upgrades, new installations and ongoing improvements across the site.

In addition to the variety of work, you'll enjoy:

• afternoon-shift loading and overtime opportunities to increase your earnings
• planned overtime with no formal on-call roster, giving you greater visibility of your working arrangements
• opportunities to contribute to equipment upgrades and capital projects
• ongoing training and development to expand your technical skills
• access to BlueScope's health, wellbeing, learning and employee benefits programs

We're committed to creating a workplace where people feel respected, valued and supported. We welcome applications from trade-qualified fitters with experience across a range of manufacturing and industrial environments.
