Industrial Hydraulics Pty Ltd – Lawnton QLD
We are an established hydraulic, refuelling, and lubrication equipment specialist based in Lawnton, supplying and servicing customers across South East Queensland and nationwide. We are seeking an experienced, trade-qualified Hydraulic Fitter or Fitter & Turner to join our busy team. This role covers a practical mix of workshop component assembly, repairs, precision machining, and scheduled on-site installation and maintenance work across our service region. We actively promote and support a genuine work-life balance. We run on a standard Monday to Friday day-shift roster and are not a 24/7 emergency breakdown or call-out hose van operation. While occasional overtime is available when project workloads require it, overtime is kept strictly sensible and minimal, allowing you to plan your home and personal life with certainty.
Key Responsibilities
- Hydraulic Maintenance & Assembly: Overhaul, assemble, test, and commission hydraulic systems, pumps, valves, cylinders, motors, and grease lube systems.
- Diagnostics & Repair: Troubleshoot and repair hydraulic faults in workshop and site environments.
- Schematics & Drawings: Read and interpret complex hydraulic schematics, engineering drawings, and technical manuals.
- Hose Assemblies: Manufacture and pressure-test hydraulic hose assemblies to safety standards.

- Safety & Standards: Maintain a safe, clean working environment in strict adherence to WHS guidelines and quality standards.
What We Offer
- Genuine Work-Life Balance: Stable Monday to Friday daytime hours—no sudden middle-of-the-night emergency call-outs or chaotic weekend rosters.
- Shared Success: Eligibility for an Annual Company Performance Bonus paid at the end of the financial year. When the business performs well, we ensure our team shares in that success.
- Supportive Workplace Culture: Join an approachable, down-to-earth team that values mutual respect, open communication, and high-quality trade standards.
- Competitive Pay: An attractive hourly rate based on your qualifications and experience, with stable, full-time work.
