- A safety-first mindset, good communication skills, and pride in quality workmanship.

What you’ll love when you join us:

This is a role where your trade truly matters. You work on complex machinery, take ownership of your work, and see the results every day.

- Real professional challenge: Keep large-scale paper machines and process systems performing at their best.

- Career growth: Access in-house training, trade upskilling, and cross-site learning opportunities.

- Team culture: Supportive, safety-focused, and built on trust.

- Employee benefits: EAP, discounted health insurance, novated leasing, and salary sacrifice options.

About Visy

Visy is powering the circular economy, closing the loop between packaging, remanufacturing and recycling. Over 75 years, we've grown to 7,000 employees and 150 global operations –predominately in Australia and New Zealand.

We believe materials are not recycled until they’ve been made into new products. We collect and sort recyclable materials like paper, cardboard, glass, plastics and metals from households and businesses, and locally remanufacture them back into new, sustainable packaging. From cardboard boxes, water bottles and jam jars to food and beverage cans, we are using recycled content to power Australia and New Zealand’s food and beverage packaging industry.
