About Us:

Welcome to The Perth Mint, where golden career opportunities await. 

The Perth Mint is an iconic Western Australian organisation operating on a truly global scale. Situated in East Perth for over 125 years, The Perth Mint is a premier tourist destination, an award-winning exporter, and a key supplier of precious metals to markets throughout the world. Our purpose is ‘to bring the wonder of precious metals to the world’.

There’s no organisation quite like it, with a variety of roles available, from engineers and chemists to artists and technicians.

The Opportunity:

We’re currently looking for multiple Production Operators to join our team, on a casual basis at our East Perth site - with an immediate start available.

This is hands on, practical work in a fast-paced production environment. You’ll be operating a range of machinery, supporting our Leading Hands and Supervisors, and helping to keep things running smoothly across the floor. From casting and rolling to inspecting and packaging, your role will be varied, physical, and essential to the day-to-day flow of our operations.

If you’re someone who enjoys working with your hands, takes pride in doing things properly, and is ready to jump in and get started - we’d love to hear from you.

About You:

You’re someone who’s reliable, safety focused, and ready to get to work. Ideally, you’ve had some experience in a manufacturing environment, and you’re confident using tools and machinery alongside a team.

You’re physically fit and comfortable with manual handling - lifting, pushing, pulling, and being on your feet throughout the day. You’re also someone who pays attention to detail, follows instructions carefully, and understands the importance of working safely and efficiently.

You’re happy to work flexibly, including outside regular hours or on weekends when needed - as we have both day shift and afternoon shift roles available. You’re a team player, a clear communicator, and someone who takes pride in keeping things clean, organised, and on track.

If you’re ready to start straight away and want to be part of a team that values effort, care, and consistency - we’d love to welcome you.
