It is all possible!
Perhaps working in specialised material processing, engineering and fabrication at SMETEC is of interest, or would you prefer chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing at Nowchem? Building deployable shelter systems at GDS is creative and dynamic, or does being on the cutting edge of conducting electromagnetic warfare training and testing at Mellori sound more appealing? Possibly manufacturing one-of-a-kind Australian made steel plates at Bisalloy aligns with your aspirations, or is applying your electrical experience to rotating machine servicing and repairs at Arrow Electrical more your thing?

I loved the people I worked with right from the start. It’s like a family at Nowchem. In any business, you stay for one reason, the people, and it’s true here. They are all fantastic people.
You don’t have to work your way into the team. Once you’re here, you’re in, and you’re immediately part of the Nowchem family.
I feel blessed to be able to raise my family here on the South Coast while also able to work at an exciting company like Nowchem. The family friendly culture is one of the things I value most about working here.
I’ve had opportunities to try different things here that I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to do in a metro area.
There’s a variety to our roles, we all wear 15 different hats, which increases our skills and makes the work more interesting.
I love the company because of its really strong values around community, quality and family, it’s a very inclusive company and you’re made to feel not just another employee but a part of the family.
The really enjoyable part is watching people grow and develop within the business, getting to know where they want to go and then being a part of that journey with them.
We are here to nurture you and your career, to take the unknown out of building a career in a regional town and to connect you with the local business community in ways which will grow your personal brand and position you for a fulfilling career in Regional Australia.
