The Opportunity

Ready to be part of something bold? Join Boeing Defence Australia at our brand-new Wellcamp facility and become the hands-on hero who keeps our production humming.

We're after a proactive, practical Tooling Technician who's hungry to learn, loves solving problems, and takes pride in precision — someone who can grow with us as we build the next generation of aerospace capability.

Why this role will excite up

• Work in a cutting-edge aerospace environment where every tool you manage powers real Defence capability.
• Immediate impact: your maintenance, kitting and inventory skills keep aircraft builds on time and on target.
• Fast learning, visible results — you'll collaborate with engineers and production leads and see the difference you make every day.
• A career-launching role: grow into advanced tooling, calibration, and asset-management responsibilities.

What you'll do as a Tooling Technician:

• Maintain, repair and prepare tooling used across the production floor — from basic servicing to supporting preventive maintenance programs.
• Receive, inspect and manage tooling and consumables: storage, kitting, labelling and inventory accuracy.
• Support tool control systems, Kanban replenishment and simple calibration routines.
• Run regular safety checks and help close out corrective actions to keep the workplace safe and compliant.
• Work with Production and Engineering to fix issues fast and suggest practical improvements.
• Follow aviation regulations, industry standards and Boeing behavioural expectations at all times.

Who we're looking for

• Trade-qualified or apprenticeship-complete in Fitting & Machining, Toolmaking or equivalent — or 2+ years practical experience in a manufacturing/maintenance environment.
• 1-3 years' exposure to aviation, manufacturing or heavy maintenance environments desirable.
• Strong mechanical aptitude, hand skills and experience with basic tooling maintenance.
• Familiarity with stock replenishment or Kanban systems is a plus; willingness to learn inventory management systems.
• Good communicator, team player and a practical problem-solver who takes initiative.
• Motivated self-starter comfortable working in a matrix organisation and escalating issues when needed.

Boeing values you'll bring to life

• Safety — You put people and the workplace first.
• Quality — You care about precision, repeatability and doing the job right.
• Integrity — You're honest, accountable and dependable.
• Innovation — You look for better ways to work and welcome continuous improvement.
• Inclusion — You collaborate respectfully and value different perspectives.

Security requirement

• Applicants must be Australian Citizens to meet defence security requirements.

Location

• Wellcamp, Toowoomba, QLD.

Befefits & growth

• Train on the job with experienced technicians and engineers.
• Hands-on experience in aerospace tooling, calibration and inventory systems.
• Clear pathways to more senior tooling, calibration or maintenance roles as you grow.
