Prefer the workshop once the day crowd has gone home? A precision engineering firm in Sydney with a long history needs experienced CNC Machinists for its evening shift, with more than one opening.
Roughly 70% of the time you will be setting and operating machines, so 4+ years of recent programming and setting experience is the starting point. Whatever type of CNC kit you know, your experience counts, and the job will be built around the person who gets it. Straight away you would program, set up and run the machines you are familiar with, producing production batches and prototypes for clients across manufacturing, oil and gas, construction, defence and infrastructure. Applicants need the right to work in Australia, and visa sponsorship will be considered for the right candidate.
