Rope Splicing Technician

22nd October, 2026

Pearl Recruitment are looking for a reliable Rope Splicing Technician for their client, a small family-owned entity and respected provider of specialised rope, mooring, anchoring and rigging products to the marine, mining and defence industries. Based in Bayswater, this role offers an immediate start and a genuine long-term career opportunity.

Previous rope splicing experience will be highly regarded. However, the client is prepared to provide as much in-house training as required to the right candidate.

Position Details

Reporting to the Operations Manager, you will work as part of a small team responsible for manufacturing, inspecting and preparing orders for upcoming client projects. Key duties include:

• Read job cards, technical information and engineered drawings to confirm production requirements.
• Measure, cut, terminate and splice synthetic rope products, including three-strand, eight-strand, 12-strand and double-braid ropes.
• Cut and assemble chain, rigging, anchoring and buoyancy products in line with drawings and relevant standards.
• Calculate raw material quantities and prepare the materials required for each job.
• Operate rope-splicing tools, cutting equipment, power tools, capstan winches and commercial sewing machines.
• Inspect finished products to ensure they meet specifications and report any defects or non-conformances.
• Pack completed orders and coordinate incoming and outgoing freight.
• Operate a forklift to safely load and unload trucks and move products around the warehouse.
• Complete general warehousing and yard duties, including labelling and packing orders to be sent to clients.
• Follow company safety, quality and manufacturing procedures and suggest process improvements.
• Occasionally attend remote site visits of 2–3 days for hands-on experience and further skill development, including site uplift responsibilities. Total time away is around two weeks per year.

About You

To be successful in the position, you will require:

• A proactive, motivated and detail-oriented approach, with strong communication skills to work within a team environment.
• Previous experience in a similar rope splicing, rigging, marine operations, manufacturing, warehousing or other relevant hands-on position.
• Full unrestricted working rights.
• The ability to pass a pre-employment medical and drug and alcohol assessment.
• A valid driver's licence and reliable transport.
• A forklift licence or rigging licence.
• Previous experience in a workshop, factory or on-site labouring/construction environment.

Pay Rates, Shifts & What's in It for You

You'll be well rewarded with a competitive starting pay rate of $38.00 per hour plus superannuation, with the potential for a higher rate depending on your previous experience. Following successful completion of your probation period, rates can increase further depending on your performance. Standard working hours are Monday to Friday, 6:30 am–3:30 pm.

In addition to working with a supportive management team, you'll receive:

• Opportunities for accredited ticketed upskilling.
• A highly competitive six-month discretionary bonus based on company and individual performance.
• Paid birthday lunches for the entire team.
• The ability to enjoy the best of both worlds: occasional FIFO work without sacrificing your work-life balance.
