Newcastle Maitland Hunter, Australia Rarekind People Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Not everyone's built for a desk job. Some people are at their best when they're on the tools, getting stuck into real work. If that's you, keep reading.

We're lining up casual opportunities across the Hunter with some of the biggest names in manufacturing, construction, and heavy industry. These aren't all dead-end jobs, they're chances to get your foot in the door, prove yourself, and build a career. We'll match your skills and preferences to the roles where you'll thrive.

What could you be doing?

  • Running forklifts and machines like grinders, drills, and saws
  • Working with steel, aluminium, and sheet metal
  • Stripping down, repairing, or rebuilding big gear
  • Pipe laying and fixing

This is real, hands-on work. It's physical. You'll get dirty. And you'll need to be the type who rolls up their sleeves and gets stuck in.

The fine print: To keep everyone safe, compliance checks are part of the process. Part of that means a functional assessment and pre-employment drug & alcohol testing.

Hit apply and we will call you for a chat. Lets see if any of our vacancies are what you are looking for.
