Ground floor opportunity in new manufacturing facility


Exergy is a new Australian owned business, funded by an established company, with a goal of becoming one of Australia's best complementary medicine manufacturers. We are nearing completion of the building phase of a brand-new facility in Smeaton Grange, South-West Sydney.



Ever wish you could work in a facility that was purpose built with quality in mind? Want a chance at unique ground-floor opportunity to be a part of the first team to help install brand new machines and equipment how they should be done from the beginning? Want to maintain a brand new facility where you can have a voice in the decision-making process? This is that role.



The Maintenance Technician will report directly to the Production Manager and will be responsible to keep the machines and facility up and running. In the first few months, the role will be solely focused on machinery and equipment layout and installation and helping to ensure that all manufacturing and critical utility services are fully qualified in preparation for the TGA audit. In the validation phase you will help operate the machines along with the Production Manager. Post-licensing phase as we move into manufacturing, the role will become a more traditional Maintenance Technician role as described below, although you may still assist with operating. As manufacturing scales and we continue to add to our Production team, there are career growth opportunities for a motivated high achiever.



This is an on-site role in Smeaton Grange. The salary will be negotiated inside the posted range based on your experience and seniority level.
