The Opportunity
We are currently seeking a Trade Assistant to join a leading manufacturing operation and work closely with the site’s maintenance team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with experience in spares management, inventory control, stores or trade assistance who enjoys being hands-on and wants to become an important part of a maintenance team.
Working a 7 days on / 7 days off, dayshift-only roster, you’ll play a key role in keeping the maintenance stores organised, ensuring the team has the right parts and tools available, and providing hands-on support during maintenance activities and breakdowns.

Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing and organising maintenance spares and inventory
- Stocktaking and maintaining accurate inventory levels
- Ensuring all parts and equipment are correctly labelled and stored
- Building work kits/job kits so tradespeople have everything required to complete their work
- Acting as a spotter for high-risk work where required
- Keeping the stores and maintenance areas clean, safe and organised
- Supporting the maintenance team to minimise downtime and keep jobs moving efficiently
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is organised, practical and proactive, with previous experience in a similar environment.
Ideally, you will have:
- Previous experience as a Trade Assistant, Storesperson or Maintenance Assistant
- Experience with spares management and inventory control
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
- A hands-on approach and willingness to get involved
- The ability to work closely with electricians, fitters and maintenance personnel
- Good understanding of workplace safety
- A reliable and team-focused attitude
Formal trade qualifications are not required. Previous experience working around maintenance teams, tools, machinery or spare parts will be highly regarded.
What’s On Offer?
- $80,000 - $90,000 + Super
- 7 days on / 7 days off roster
- Dayshift only
- Permanent opportunity within a stable manufacturing environment
- Hands-on role working directly with an experienced maintenance team
- Opportunity to develop your maintenance and technical knowledge
- Great work-life balance with a week off every second week
- Be a key support function within a busy maintenance operation
The Bottom LineThis is an ideal role for someone who enjoys being hands-on, organised and useful to the team. If you’re someone who can keep a maintenance store under control, knows where everything is, can get parts moving quickly during a breakdown and isn’t afraid to jump on the tools and help the trades team, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
