We are seeking a full-time Mechanical Engineer to join our Dandenong-based operations. This role will support polymer machining, inspection, testing, and production optimisation activities, working closely with manufacturing and quality teams.

Key Responsibilities: 

As a Mechanical Engineer, your duties will include (but are not limited to):

•    Develop Specifications for the inspection of polymer products during machining processes to monitor deformation due to material internal stress.

•    Compile reports on polymer deformation with measured material physical properties and co-ordinate with the molding department to establish inspection and quality control testing measures (temperature and pressure adjustments) during processing.

•    Investigate new production methods and establish standards and policies for polymer

machining to reduce deformation due to internal stress.

•    Supervise the operation of tensile test and wear testing laboratory equipment to obtain the mechanical properties of new polymer grades

•    Adhere To Prosind Q.A. and Safety Requirements and Prosind code of Conduct

Other Responsibilities:

•    Oversee machinery maintenance to ensure optimum performance is maintained

The Ideal Candidate

To be successful in this role, you will have:

•    A recognized Engineering qualification (Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical, Materials, or Chemical Engineering)

•    Experience operating material testing instrumentation, including tensile testing and wear testing machines

•    Experience in PLC programming

Required Attributes

•    Ability to communicate effectively with colleagues across engineering, production, and quality teams

•    Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and dimensions

•    Ability to measure components using inspection equipment such as verniers and micrometers

•    Strong analytical and problem-solving skills within an industrial or manufacturing environment

Physical & Other Considerations

•    Materials handled typically weigh between 1–20 kg

•    Mechanical lifting devices are available when materials exceed safe manual handling limits

•    A general level of physical fitness is required
