Job Description

Join JMH Group — Experienced Mobile Plant Mechanic

Are you ready for an exciting career in mining & heavy-duty maintenance?

At JMH Group, we’re more than just a maintenance contractor. We’re a trusted partner to the mining, construction, transport and civil industries across Western Australia. With modern workshops, fully-equipped field service vehicles and a team of OEM-trained technicians, we pride ourselves on quality, safety, and supporting our tradespeople to grow and thrive.

We’re looking for experienced Mobile Plant / Heavy-Duty Diesel Mechanics to join our growing team — on FIFO or DIDO mine-site rosters, or workshop-based roles. If you’re motivated, skilled and ready for a new challenge, we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Do

  • Perform maintenance, servicing and repairs on a wide range of mobile plant, earthmoving, mining and heavy-duty machines.
  • Troubleshoot mechanical faults and complete high-quality repairs to keep equipment running.
  • Work safely, efficiently and to high standards according to site or workshop requirements.
  • Use OEM-level tooling and diagnostic equipment, provided by JMH, ensuring quality workmanship.
  • Follow safety guidelines, site procedures and company WHS standards at all times.

What We’re Looking For

  • Australian Trade Certificate as a Mobile Plant Mechanic or Heavy-Duty Diesel Mechanic.
  • Proven experience as a qualified mobile plant / field service mechanic — prior mine-site or heavy-duty plant experience highly regarded.
  • Strong technical, diagnostic and mechanical skills.
  • Reliable, proactive, team-minded and able to work independently when required.
  • Good communication and a commitment to safety and quality.
  • Must pass a pre-employment medical and national police check.
  • Full Australian work rights. (Note: we are not sponsoring or nominating visa holders.)

What You’ll Get As Part of the JMH Team

  • Competitive pay: up to $80–$90 per hour for FIFO / DIDO mine-site work.
  • Flexible options: FIFO / DIDO site rosters or workshop-based roles at our Geraldton Workshop
  • Work with a respected, well-resourced company offering modern workshops, field service vehicles and OEM-level tooling, giving you the tools to do quality work safely.
  • Opportunity to work across a broad scope: mining, earthmoving, transport, civil-construction, and more — widening your skills and experience.
  • Opportunities for Surface and Underground positions.
  • Supportive, team-oriented culture that values quality workmanship, safety, fairness and work/life balance.
  • Stability and ongoing opportunities as part of a growing business that values its tradespeople and invests in equipment, tools and ongoing support.
