About you

You will be a qualified tradesperson, holding a Certificate III in Auto Electrical, Mobile Plant Technology, Heavy Vehicle Mechanics, Fabrication, or another relevant trade qualification.

Your enthusiasm and strong work ethic coupled with your sound technical knowledge of plant and machinery formed across your work life as a plant mechanic or within the automotive electrical industry make you a great candidate.

Your broad experience across heavy plant as well as your abundance of electrical knowledge and expertise outside of the automotive field is notable. You’re an excellent trouble shooter, good at problem solving, can think logically but also laterally, if need be, and enjoy working as an integral part of a diverse dynamic team.

You might also have experience in hydraulics and/or pneumatics, but we don’t mind if you don’t!
