As part of a small and supportive maintenance team, you’ll play a key role in keeping our state-of-the-art operation running smoothly 52 weeks a year. From scheduled maintenance to urgent repairs, no two days are the same – and your problem-solving skills will make a real impact.
What you'll do:
-
Carry out preventative and scheduled maintenance to ensure plant and equipment operate safely, reliably, and efficiently.
-
Respond to machinery breakdowns and perform timely repairs to minimise disruption to production operations.
-
Identify equipment issues and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance performance and reliability.

Manage spare parts and maintenance inventory, ensuring critical stock is available to support operational requirements.

Work closely with maintenance and production teams to reduce downtime, optimise equipment availability, and maintain a safe workplace in line with OHS&E standards.
What you'll bring:
-
You’ll be a trade-qualified Mechanical Fitter (or higher) with proven experience in industrial maintenance and plant equipment repairs.
- Strong fault-finding and troubleshooting skills across mechanical systems, with the ability to identify root causes and implement effective solutions.
-
Hands-on experience working with conveyors, gearboxes, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, and other industrial plant equipment.
- A proactive, safety-focused approach, with the ability to work independently and contribute positively within a team environment.
- A current C Class Driver’s Licence, with an Electrical B Class Licence viewed favourably but not essential.
Please note: Rotating shifts between 5.00am–10.00pm, with occasional weekends, public holidays and call-outs.
