Powder Coating Factory Labourer

We’ve been doing this since 1968.

Mansutti Bros has been delivering quality powder coating finishes out of Melbourne’s inner west for over five decades. We’re not a startup finding our feet, and we’re not a faceless corporation either. We’re a tight-knit factory team who take real pride in what comes off the line – and we’re looking for someone who will too.

What the job actually looks like

You’ll be working on our powder coating line – unloading, prepping, loading, packing, and keeping things moving. It’s hands-on, it’s physical, and a lot of it is repetitive. That’s not a disclaimer – for the right person, that’s the appeal. There’s a real satisfaction in mastering a process, owning your section of the line, and watching a consistent, quality result come through shift after shift.

Fridays finish at 1pm. If you’ve ever beaten the traffic out of the city on a long weekend, you’ll know exactly what that feels like.

Day-to-day responsibilities include:

• Unloading materials from the automatic line for packing.
• Prepping surfaces for coating — cleaning and quality checking.
• Loading materials onto coating lines to schedule and spec.
• Checking and organising incoming goods.
• Operating a forklift (if you hold a licence).
• Keeping your workspace tidy, safe, and ready for the next job.
• Following safety protocols – every time, without cutting corners.

This role is for you if…

• You know what needs doing and you get it done – no hand-holding required.
• You take pride in a job done properly, even when no one’s watching.
• You’re the kind of person who’s already thinking about the next job while finishing the current one.
• You get along well with people, pull your weight, and like being part of a crew that shares a goal.
• You’re looking for somewhere to prove yourself and grow – not just clock in and clock out.

This role probably isn’t for you if…

• “Good enough” is your standard
• You shut your brain off when things get repetitive
• Accountability isn’t something you’re comfortable with
• You’re looking for a role that doesn’t require consistent physical effort day after day

We’d rather be upfront about that now than waste your time or ours.

What we offer

• Competitive hourly wage based on performance.
• A genuine path to full-time – typically within six months for the right person.
• A team that’s big enough that you won’t be forgotten, but not so big that we’re in your business about everything – we just want what’s best for you and the business.
• Early finish every Friday afternoon – consistently, not just occasionally.
• Street parking at the front of the factory, with nearby bus routes if you’re coming via public transport.
• PPE provided on site (steel-capped boots and high-vis required from day one).
• A workplace built on integrity, quality, and genuine respect for the people who show up and contribute.
