Laminaton

If you've been working on sites in Albury, you already know the deal. It's either freezing cold, stinking hot, blowing a gale or all three.

If you’ve been working on building sites around Albury for a while, you already know the deal. It’s either freezing cold, stinking hot, blowing a gale, or all three in the same day.

You’re out there battling the weather, dealing with mud, dust and rain, and by the time Friday rolls around you’re absolutely cooked.

This role flips that on its head.

We’re recruiting for a premium boat manufacturer in Albury that builds some seriously high-end boats and the conditions are a hell of a lot better than most trade jobs.

For starters…

4 Day Work Week You work Monday to Thursday, 10-hour days.

Then you get Friday, Saturday and Sunday off.

Three-day weekends become the norm, you’re lying up watching Kayo whilst your mates are slaving away. 

Instead of freezing your bum off on a job site or sweating through summer, you’ll be working inside a large shed that’s heated in winter and cooled in summer.

It’s also pretty relaxed.

Beanie? No worries.

Board shorts in summer? Go for it.

All your PPE is supplied as well.

This role sits in the lamination team, which is basically where the whole boat build begins.

If the lamination is done right, the boat turns out perfect, so it’s a pretty important part of the process.

You’ll be working in a team of around 8-10 people laying fibreglass into moulds that eventually become the hull and deck of the boat.

The process includes:

• Prepping the moulds
• Setting up the machines and resin mix
• Rolling the fibreglass layers evenly (think paint roller) 

Think of it a bit like rolling dough evenly across a surface. You’re making sure the layers are consistent and strong.

A typical day starts with the team coming in, doing their machine checks, mixing fluids and getting everything ready before the lamination process begins.

It can be physical work with lots of leaning over moulds and moving around, but nothing crazy if you’re used to labouring or trade work.

They are relaxed but they also hook in and get the job done, so you’ll have to:

• listen to instructions
• work as part of a team
• have a bit of banter along the way

The machines can be loud with chopper guns running etc, so sometimes people are yelling instructions. It’s not because they’re angry, it’s just noisy in there.

The people who last in this department are usually people who listen well, follow processes and don’t mind a bit of physical work.

Some of the current team have been there 5, 10, even 15 years.

A lot of them came from roofing, sheet metal or labouring jobs and say they love working inside a shed instead of out in the weather.

The role starts at $31.19 per hour plus super. There’s also real opportunity here.

Over the last couple of years we’ve seen more than 10 people move from labour hire into permanent roles with the company.

Once you’re in permanently, there are also chances to move into different areas of the build.

You don’t need boat building experience.

Most of the skills are learned on the job.

If this sounds like a better setup than what you currently have, then apply now.

I fell into the ‘cruiting trap…
I know I know, it happens to the best of us!

‘Definitely not a wallflower’

I was described as this once, probably with the intention of causing offence – but in fact, it had the opposite effect… I’m definitely NOT A WALLFLOWER. I’m outrageous, fun loving, energetic and am usually juggling multiple categories of life, all at once!
What’s that saying? “If you want something done, give it to someone busy”? Insert raised hand emoji here!

Part of my skill set learnt early on, working in the event industry, is to facilitate expectations – both from a client and vendor perspective. You’re the middle man. You’re there to bridge the gap between what the client wants and what the vendor can provide. Much like recruiting… We’re here to find you the perfect fit, and to be open and honest about what that looks like for both client and candidate.

Safe to say I’ve found my happy place – providing both clients and candidates with solutions to their problems in a timely, no fuss approach, with modern marketing and a kick a$$ team.

I’ve always had a passion for learning new skills and it excites me to grow both personally & professionally within the Hunty team.

I hope to bring that same feeling of growth & connectedness to the clients and candidates in their employer/employee recruitment journey.

Kaity Fuller

PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT

Over the years I fell in love with the industry and naturally progressed into the role of Recruitment Consultant and now Chief Operations Officer. I have a genuine interest in partnering with local companies and not-for-profit organisations to help get the best people into their teams. I get a kick out of not only matching people’s skillsets to the role but making sure the cultural fit is right and I believe this is the key to ensuring their success.

A little about me? I’ll start with the obvious – I stand at a whopping 5 feet tall and I have now mastered my short jokes response, “Diamonds don’t come the size of bricks” ha! . I am a Mum, Wife and the next Donna Hay and also a Reformer Pilates Instructor on the side. I love to cook and entertain. I am a lover of high heels (insert short joke here) and fashion, a good glass of champagne and any Fleetwood Mac tune. (Steve Nicks – I love you!)

Rhyley Hunter

Managing Director

First and foremost, I’m a devoted father and husband, fully embracing the responsibilities that come with those roles. My family’s well-being is my main concern; everything else is secondary. It’s an absolute madhouse at times, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

A rehabilitated people-pleaser who no longer feels the need to masquerade as someone I’m not.

As I’ve grown older, wiser, and balder, I have found myself speaking less, listening more, and not worrying about what others think of me.

Life is short.

Business doesn’t have to be serious and full of pretenders, so I’ve taken off the mask and am simply being me: rough around the edges, quirky, and a bit of a strange cat.

Business has always fascinated me, with its ups and downs, daily lessons, and the inevitable growth that accompanies them. Along the way, I’ve accumulated my fair share of battle scars, both figuratively and maybe a few clumsy mishaps here and there. But hey, it’s all part of the journey, and I’ve learned valuable lessons from each experience.

Recruitment holds a special place in my heart because I have personally experienced the impact that an exceptional team can have on businesses. Hence, I recognize the immense importance of the industry.

I am very well aware of the transformative power we possess in helping individuals pursue improved career prospects and overall lifestyles.

Leading the Huntsman team is an absolute privilege. I love helping people grow and better themselves. I have my team’s back through thick and thin, and whatever happens, I take full ownership and responsibility.
