Job Description

You'll keep machines turning and parts in spec at the sugar mill in Epping. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Epping; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Help with electrical fault-finding on motors and sensors as a millwright
  • Maintain hydraulic and pneumatic systems on production lines
  • Record work and spares used on the job card or CMMS
  • Inspect and adjust conveyors, chains and sprockets
  • Follow the lockout procedure before any work on machinery

What you need

  • Willing to work shifts, standby and weekend shutdowns
  • You read engineering drawings and measure with micrometers and verniers
  • Own basic hand tools, or willing to build up a set
  • Trade test as Fitter and Turner, Fitter, Millwright or Toolmaker

What you get

  • Chance to study further toward a technician diploma
  • Paid overtime on shutdowns
  • Shift and standby allowances

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Epping really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: references from maintenance managers, trade test certificate plus N-certificates plus certified copy of your identity document or smart card.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Epping; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Before you hit apply

  • Expect a practical test. Measure twice and work cleanly, because the assessor watches your habits as much as the result.
  • If you can machine parts as well as fit them, say so clearly. Many factories want both skills in one person.
