Why a small business?
We're a team of five techs. You'll know everyone, including the owners, and you won't be a number. We can't throw sign-on bonuses around like the big companies. What we can offer is proper training, steady work, and a crew that backs each other up.
About the role:
Six months in, you'll be attending breakdowns across client sites with minimal to no supervision — working through a fault systematically, deciding what can be fixed on the spot and what needs to be made safe and escalated, and documenting it properly every time. You don't need prior spraybooth experience; we'll train you on our systems and the relevant standards.
Key responsibilities:
- Attend and independently diagnose breakdowns on spraybooth extraction, burner, and electrical/control systems at client sites.
- Carry out servicing and maintenance work to a high standard with minimal supervision.
- Work through faults logically — decide what can be safely fixed on site and what needs to be made safe and escalated.
- Keep detailed job records and photos in our job management system so nothing gets lost between visits.
- Travel to client sites across Victoria, with occasional overnight stays (fully covered).
- Help set the standard for less experienced technicians on site.
About you:
- A recognised trade qualification — motor mechanic, diesel/plant mechanic, auto electrician, fitter, or a similar mechanical/electrical trade.
- Genuine mechanical aptitude and a logical approach to fault-finding, not guesswork.
- The confidence to try things yourself, balanced with the self-awareness to ask for help when you're genuinely stuck.
- A fast learner who asks questions rather than assumes.
- Comfortable working independently in the field.
- Current driver's licence.
- Preferred: White Card.
- Preferred: EWP ticket.
- Preferred: Experience with breakdown or fault-finding work in an industrial or field service setting.
