Pointe Engineering is a specialist ground improvement contractor. We’re experts in drilling and grouting to control water and stabilise ground for major infrastructure like dams, tunnels and mines. Our work often takes us where others can’t go — steep slopes, tight sites, and remote locations. That means limited-access geotechnical drilling off ropes, using specialist equipment and a small crew that knows how to get the job done safely and efficiently.
We’re now looking for a Rope Access Technician to join our slope stabilisation team. If you like working outdoors, tackling tough jobs, and building skills that few others have, this role is for you.
What You Need to Be:
- IRATA Level 1 minimum (500hrs+ minimum). Level 2 and 3 strongly desirable
- Drilling & off siding experience, excavator mounted drill rigs and a-frame skids (TH & DH knowledge)
- Micropile and catch fence experience, highly regarded
- Grout mixing experience, highly regarded
- Experience with geotechnical work: scaling, drilling, shotcrete, steel fixing, tension mesh, gabion cages/mattresses etc
- Physically fit, healthy, and ready for outdoor work in challenging environments
- Confident working on ropes, slopes, and in rugged terrain
- Organised with paperwork and basic technology (reporting, safety compliance, daily logs)
- A team player who’s not afraid to step in and help wherever needed
What You Need to Have:
- White Card
- Work at Heights certification
- National Police Clearance
- Current Australian Driver’s Licence
- First Aid
- Ability to pass a pre-employment medical and drug screening
- Trade skills and tickets in drilling, excavator operation, telehandler, EWP >11m, shotcrete placement, or concreting (highly regarded and will set you apart)
What You Can Expect:
- Work in a tight-knit crew with supervisors who are hands-on and lead from the front
- Exposure to specialist limited-access drilling off ropes and slope stabilisation methods that few companies in Australia deliver
- A safe, supportive work environment where safety is never compromised
- Opportunities to broaden your skills across multiple trades and grow with a fast-moving, high-impact company
- It’s a chance to get involved in specialist geotechnical construction and build a trade career while working on some of the toughest and most rewarding projects in the industry.
