Cnc Mechanical Technician

CSIRO’s National Collections and Marine Infrastructure (NCMI) research unit is seeking a skilled CNC Mechanical Technician to join the Engineering and Technical Services (ETS) team based in Hobart. In this role, you will fabricate bespoke mechanical components in a variety of materials, as part of construction of novel platforms and apparatus, in support a diverse range of research projects in the laboratory and in the field, often for deployment in the deep sea. You will work within a team of 5 specialist tradespeople provide engineering solutions to the Engineering and Technology Program, and other groups both within and also external to CSIRO, including the Marine National Facility (Research Vessel Investigator) and the Integrated Marine Observing System. You will program and operate CNC centres, fabricating bespoke, complex parts which are generally designed in-house. You will assist in the development of CNC workflows, and training other ETS staff in CNC operation, in particular apprentices. In addition to CNC responsibilities, like the other technicians in ETS, there may be general engineering duties, and so broad experience in turning/machining or fabrication will be highly regarded.
