Granulator Machine Operator

19 hours ago

Ballarat, Victoria, Australia Fitmycar Pty Ltd Full time

**Immediate Hiring - Granulator Machine Operator - Lara, VIC**
**Loud. Dusty. Physical. Solid work with a solid crew.**

At **FitMyCar**, we custom-make and ship car accessories right here in Australia. We're looking for someone to run our **granulator machine** — a job that's physical, noisy, and a bit dirty, but steady and honest work while we clear a large backlog.

**Note**: This role is full-time for now but hours may reduce once we're caught up, depending on production needs.

You'll be cutting production offcuts, feeding them into the machine, wearing full PPE, and working safely around moving parts. Sometimes the granulator kicks back material — you'll be trained on how to handle that.

This role suits someone who turns up, gets stuck in, and doesn't complain when the job gets tough. If you like sitting still all day, this is not for you.

**What You'll Do**
- Cut parts into smaller sections and feed them into the granulator
- Wear PPE and follow safety procedures at all times
- Manage dust, noise, and occasional material kickback
- Keep the work area organised despite the messiness of the task
- Help out in other production or warehouse areas when needed

**What We're Looking For**
- Fit, strong, and able to handle repetitive, heavy work
- Comfortable around loud, dusty machinery (PPE supplied)
- A reliable team player with a "get it done" attitude
- Forklift licence is a bonus but not essential
- Prior warehouse or manufacturing experience is a plus

**Shift Availability**
- Must be available for **morning** (6:00 AM - 2:30 PM) and **afternoon** (2:30 PM - midnight) shifts as rostered
- Afternoon shift gets **15% loading**

**Why Join FitMyCar?**
- **Hiring urgently** - start ASAP
- Full-time hours while backlog lasts (with potential reduction later)
- Extra pay for afternoon shifts
- Supportive crew who actually pull their weight
- Staff discounts on all FitMyCar products
- Modern facility with strong safety culture

Pay: $30.35 per hour

Expected hours: 38 per week

**Benefits**:

- Employee discount

Application Question(s):

- Do you have experience operating production machines?
- Are you available to work on any shift — morning, afternoon, or night — as rostered?
- Have you worked in a fast-paced warehouse or manufacturing environment before? If yes, please give an example.
- Are you comfortable doing repetitive tasks, lifting up to 20kg, and being on your feet all day?
- Do you hold a current and valid forklift licence?

- English (required)

Work Authorisation:

- Australia (required)
