Field Service Electronics Technician
Hands-on field and factory role servicing QLD's smart transport signage. Vehicle, tools and phone provided. Yatala-based.
LOCATION
Yatala, QLD
EMPLOYMENT
Full time, permanent
INDUSTRY
Electronics / Smart transport
Why this role is different
You won't be stuck in a ceiling or a workshop all day. One week you're diagnosing a comms fault on a passenger information display at a rail station, the next you're servicing a speed sign on a council road, then back at Yatala helping with a factory build. Real variety, real fault-finding, and your work keeps the state's transport network running every day.
About Axent Global
We are an Australian-owned leader in electronic signage and smart transport technology. Our gear runs across rail stations, bus stops, council roads, school zones and motorways right around the country. We design it, we build it at our Yatala facility, and we install and service it in the field.

What you'll actually be doing
- Installing and commissioning passenger information displays (PIDs), vehicle activated signs (VAS), PA systems and related gear on live sites across SEQ
- Servicing, fault-finding and repairing electronic signage and control systems
- Mix of field work and factory days at Yatala (assembly, QA testing, build support), so it is never monotonous
- Keeping service records and reports up to date
- Overnight regional trips (accommodation covered) with LAA
