Job Description

BlueScope is an Australian-born global success story spanning 15 countries. Our team of over 16,500 people is our strength and we want our people to be safe, successful and well. We’re leaders and innovators in transforming steel into smart products and solutions that support society, today and in the future. We’re proud of brands, like COLORBOND ® steel that inspire and protect everything from hospitals to bridges and stadiums.

The Opportunity

Orrcon Steel Manufacturing is looking for an Automation Technician to join the reliability team based in O'Sullivan Beach. Orrcon Steel Manufacturing is a leading Australian supplier of steel and aluminium products, offering a comprehensive range engineered to meet the demands of diverse industries. Our products are backed by strong technical expertise, full traceability, and stringent quality standards. Supported by strategic supplier partnerships and a nationwide network of distribution centres, we ensure consistent availability, reliable performance, and dependable supply for customers across Australia.

In this hands-on role, you’ll play a critical part in maintaining and improving automation systems and control infrastructure to support the safe and reliable manufacture of our world-class steel products. As a key member of our dedicated Reliability team, you’ll work on both business-as-usual maintenance and significant automation and safety-focused projects, contributing directly to the performance, safety, and future capability of the site.

This is a permanent, full-time opportunity working day shift, ideal for a highly skilled automation professional who enjoys being on the tools while also engaging in commissioning, upgrades, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Thinking about a fresh start for 2027? We’re happy to work towards a January 2027 commencement, while remaining open to an earlier start if that is what you're seeking.

What’s In It For You?

  • competitive remuneration package including our bonus incentive scheme
  • on-site physio
  • no need to purchase new workwear – you’ll be provided with a uniform and the necessary personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • work-life balance – no ordinary hours weekend work, opportunity for flexible working arrangements, and a shut-down period over Christmas and New Year’s allowing you to recharge
  • online learning platform to support your continuous development
  • to help you thrive we offer great health and wellbeing initiatives including access to our Employee Assistance Provider (EAP) and on-site physiotherapist
  • enjoy a vibrant and inclusive workplace culture that hosts regular celebrations and BBQ’s
  • access to a range of exciting discounts across travel, vehicles, health and more!

What Will You Do?

As part of this site-based reliability team, you will:

  • ensure safety is never compromised, proactively identifying risks and implementing improvements to systems and processes
  • perform hands-on electrical and automation maintenance, including fault finding, repairs, wiring, and assembly of plant, automation equipment, and control panels
  • provide automation coverage across maintenance activities, while also contributing to capital works, upgrades, and new equipment installations
  • support commissioning activities and ongoing optimisation of new and existing equipment
  • work with integrated automation, safety, and information systems, ensuring reliable performance and accurate system reporting
  • coordinate and oversee external contractors when specialist support or additional resources are required
  • collaborate closely with engineers, technicians, and operations stakeholders to troubleshoot issues, improve reliability, and refine automation systems
  • develop, maintain, and follow technical documentation, procedures, and isolation plans to support safe and consistent work practices
  • actively identify and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, helping shape how automation and maintenance systems evolve across the site.

More About You

As a maintenance professional within a manufacturing or heavy industrial environment you will bring:

  • Certificate III in Electrotechnology with a current A-Grade SA Electrical Licence (mandatory)
  • solid post-trade experience as an automation-focused electrician in manufacturing, industrial, mining, or heavy industry environments
  • strong end-to-end exposure across electrical maintenance, automation systems, fault finding, and project work
  • PLC and automation experience, with Siemens exposure highly regarded
  • hands-on experience with automated machinery, control systems, and industrial plant
  • the ability to work effectively with multiple stakeholders and build strong working relationships across the business
  • a proactive, solutions-focused mindset with a genuine interest in learning, improving systems, and building long-term capability

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
