Please fill out the Google Form to apply. If your application is successful, you will be shortlisted for a Zoom interview. After all the interviews have been conducted, we will let you know of your outcome.

When will the recruitment applications close?

What roles/sections are available to join?

Our team has undergone a restructure, so there are many roles available! You can choose to be a forging, foundry or business member by choosing which section you would like to be in (R&D, external products, equipment development or business).

You can also join a committee (onboarding and training, sustainability or safety) alongside your main section.

Please refer to the relevant pages on our website to learn a bit more about the sections that interest you before you apply.

How many hours am I expected to commit to Monash Forge?

You are expected to dedicate a minimum of 10 hours per week. This can include attending meetings, attending workshop sessions, working on projects for the team, etc.

How many workshop sessions am I expected to attend per semester?

Forging members are expected to attend a minimum of 10 workshop sessions per semester. Foundry members are a minimum of 8. Business-only members are a minimum of 5.

The reason for these numbers are due to the difference in length for foundry and forging members (foundry workshops are a lot longer and require more set-up time). Business-only members are expected to learn some practical workshop skills to improve their knowledge about what the team does, but they also have to accomplish their own business projects.

Do I require prior technical skills and materials engineering theory or be an engineering student to be a part of the team?

You don’t need any prior technical skills, materials engineering theory or be an engineering student to be a part of the team. Our team members consist of students from a range of different engineering specialisations and a few members don’t do engineering at all! As long as you are passionate about what our team does and you’re enthusiastic to learn new skills - this is what we are looking for.
