where is the Australian market concentrated?
australia's automation industry is primarily concentrated in three cities. sydney is the largest market, where the majority of international oems and global intralogistics providers have either their australian headquarters or their primary commercial operations. melbourne is the second largest, with a strong presence from international systems integrators and a deep base of specialist engineering professionals. brisbane is a growing market with a well-established network of regional integrators and increasing oem footprint
adelaide and perth have a more limited but active automation presence — primarily project-based work through international and regionals integrators and specific end-client investment programs. liftpass works nationally and can support requirements in both markets, though the bulk of permanent hiring activity sits in sydney, melbourne, and brisbane
The employers we work with
we work with the full range of automation and robotics businesses operating in australia — from the largest international oems and systems integrators to specialist australian-owned engineering companies. our clients include companies active in warehouse automation and intralogistics, factory automation, postal and parcel sortation, baggage handling systems, and advanced robotics
businesses that demand deep technical knowledge from their recruiter, not just resume volume
the roles we place nationally
across australia, liftpass regularly places professionals across the full project and commercial lifecycle:
control systems engineers, commissioning engineers, mechanical and electrical design engineers, solution consultants and pre-sales engineers, project managers and project directors, service managers and heads of maintenance, business development managers, and executive leadership up to ceo level
why liftpass
we don't do general recruitment. we don't place accountants or marketers on the side. every assignment we take on is in our sector, built on relationships developed over years, and supported by the most comprehensive network of passive industrial automation professionals in australia and new zealand
we successfully fill over 95% of the assignments we accept, and the professionals we place stay nearly 2.5 times longer than the industry average. that's not a coincidence — it's the result of understanding the sector, asking the right questions, and never treating a placement as a transaction
