Dotmar has more than 50 years of history across Australia and New Zealand and is a leading specialist in engineering thermoplastics, polyurethane and conveyor components. Its capability extends from the supply and technical application of engineering materials through to CNC machining, fabrication and injection moulding.
Dotmar works across industries including mining, engineering, manufacturing, materials handling, food and beverage, infrastructure and transport, solving technical problems and manufacturing components for demanding industrial applications. Part of MM Plastics and backed by Metal Manufactures Pty Ltd, Dotmar offers the agility of a specialist industrial business with the resources and career opportunities of a substantial national group.

You'll also play a major role in developing the people around you, strengthening accountability and continuing to build a high-performance culture.

We're interested in candidates who have crossed the traditional divide between commercial leadership and operations.

• An established operation with further growth potential
• Exposure to major WA mining, engineering and industrial customers
• The backing of a substantial national group
