With more than 1,300 assets operating across nine regions, our people play a critical role in building, maintaining and supporting the road network that connects communities, businesses and industries across the state.
As a Mechanical Tradesperson, you'll join a professional and safety-focused workshop team responsible for maintaining and repairing a modern fleet of trucks, trailers, earthmoving equipment and specialised machinery.

In this role, you'll:
- Perform repairs, servicing and preventative maintenance on heavy vehicles, plant and auxiliary equipment.
- Diagnose faults and undertake repairs in workshop and field environments using modern tools and technology.
- Complete maintenance records, work orders and service reporting accurately and on time.
- Contribute to a safe workplace through hazard identification, risk assessment and compliance with safety requirements.
- Share your expertise and support the development of apprentices and trainees.
What's in it for you?
RoadTek offers more than challenging and rewarding work. You'll enjoy:
- Permanent full-time employment with a 76-hour fortnight and rostered day off.
- Competitive salary, superannuation and leave entitlements.
- Five weeks annual leave in Northern Queensland locations.
- Career progression opportunities and access to RoadTek's Mechanical Tradesperson Development Program.
- Salary packaging options and a range of employee wellbeing initiatives.
- Access to health programs, annual flu vaccinations and confidential Employee Assistance Program services for you and your family.
At RoadTek, you'll be part of a team that values respect, safety, inclusion and continuous learning. Whether you're looking to broaden your technical capability, work on a diverse range of equipment or build a long-term career within one of Queensland's largest infrastructure organisations, this is your opportunity to make an impact while helping keep Queensland moving.
