The Role
We're looking for an experienced Senior Crane Technician to join our Truganina team. You'll carry out servicing, inspections, and breakdown repairs on overhead cranes and lifting equipment, working autonomously on complex jobs and providing hands‑on technical guidance to less experienced technicians and apprentices.

What you'll be doing:
- Carrying out routine servicing, inspections, and breakdown repairs on overhead cranes, hoists, and lifting equipment
- Diagnosing and resolving complex electrical and mechanical faults
- Working autonomously on more complex jobs with minimal supervision
- Mentoring and supporting junior technicians and apprentices on the job
- Completing job cards and service reports accurately and on time
- Providing technical input to your Supervisor on Repair After Service (RAS) quotes
- Ensuring all work is completed to WCS's safety and quality standards
- Participating in toolbox talks and safety initiatives
What we're looking for:
- Extensive experience servicing cranes, hoists, or industrial lifting equipment
- Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills
- High Risk Work Licence(s) relevant to crane/lifting equipment (advantageous)
- Ability to mentor and support less experienced technicians
- Strong communication skills and a professional, customer-focused approach
- Current driver's licence
Join a well-established, growing, family-owned Victorian business. Be part of a close-knit, experienced service team based at our Truganina branch. Take on a senior, respected role with real mentoring responsibility. Stable, ongoing work with a reputable industry leader.
