Powering Australia’s manufacturing future by putting the right people in the right role.
What is manufacturing?
Why is it important?
We're experts:
The manufacturing industry is one of Australia’s most important pillars. When production is steady, businesses deliver, communities stay employed, and the country keeps building, exporting and innovating.
Synergie makes recruitment simple. We begin by understanding your needs and goals, whether you are a candidate or looking for staff.
Then, we source trade-qualified workers quickly, ensuring safe, reliable staffing for high-demand production environments. Synergie has two decades of providing solutions.

According to Australian government data, approximately 870,000 people work in the industry, and the bakery product manufacturing segment is the most prominent.
Although the number of workers fell by 1.7% last year (data up to November 2025), this field continues to offer good opportunities and increasingly requires more qualified candidates (from production line jobs to technical and leadership positions) due to technological developments.
Our consultants recruit for a wide range of roles, including:
- Boilermakers
- Assemblers
- Process workers
- Machine & production operators
- Welders
- Fitters
We also offer solutions in the food and beverage manufacturing field.
I’ve been working with Synergie for nearly a year. I started here as a forklift operator, then moved into a Logistics Coordinator role, after a few months I then progressed onto being the manager of the workshop and warehouse. For me the experience has been everything, the opportunity with Synergie and Coca Cola outweighs anything I’ve done before.“

Our process to provide benefits
For candidates
Step 1: The challenge
If you’re looking for a new job, you’re probably looking for more than just a paycheck. You want stability, safety, and to be treated with respect. Maybe in the past, the process felt rushed or confusing. Maybe you felt like just another name on a list. We do things differently. And we’re here to support you every step of the way.
For employers
Step 1: The challenge
Finding a qualified person for a job can be easy, but finding a qualified person who is the best fit for your company takes more care.
I’ve been working with Synergie for two years. We’ve used a couple of labour hire providers in the past particularly in logistics, forkie drivers, pick packers and they’ve all been very poor in comparison to Synergie. We used to have high turnover, behavioural and safety concerns on site but since working with Synergie their quality of candidates and interaction is far superior. Not just candidates but support and safety. For any injuries Synergie have been readily available and the support from the national and safety manager was impressive in comparison to other providers.“
