You are trade qualified, you have mining experience, and you do not need someone checking over your shoulder to get the job done right. You want a roster that is predictable, a great team to work with, opportunities to develop and pay that matches your experience.
What You Will Do
- Service, diagnose and repair CAT haul trucks (777), loaders (980), dozers (D10T) and graders (16M) to major maintenance standard
- Carry out scheduled servicing, component change outs and preventative maintenance across a range of heavy mining equipment
- Diagnose and resolve faults across hydraulics and powertrain systems
- Complete work orders, service sheets and all site documentation accurately and on time
- Maintain a clean, safe workshop and actively participate in all site safety processes

- Current C class driver's licence (HR or MR is a bonus)
- Ability to pass a pre employment medical and drug and alcohol screen before you mobilise
- Full, ongoing work rights, this role is not open to candidates requiring visa sponsorship
Only candidates with full, valid work rights in Australia will be considered.
Who You Are
You take safety seriously every single shift, not because someone asked you to but because that is just how you work. You show up for the full roster, you do not leave your crew short, and you take ownership of every job you put your name to. You get it right the first time, speak up when something does not look right, and enjoy working on a 7 on 7 off roster.
