About the company
A leading provider of specialised landfill and recycling equipment across Australia and New Zealand, we offer the chance to work on world-class machines unlike anything else in the market. Joining this role means adding a unique set of skills to your experience while being supported by a strong, stable, and collaborative team committed to helping you succeed.

About the role
This role offers the best of both worlds – a mix of workshop and on-site work. You’ll handle pre-delivery, servicing, repairs, and preventative maintenance on mobile plant such as compactors, shredders, and other equipment.
Expect well-maintained machines, regular overtime with penalty rates, and plenty of variety to keep each day different. It’s a great opportunity to sharpen your skills while taking on new challenges.

Duties

• Carry out servicing, repairs, diagnostics, and breakdown support on heavy plant and waste management equipment (compactors, shredders, loaders, and similar machinery).
• Perform field service work across landfill sites, recycling centres, and customer facilities (approx. 60% field, 40% workshop).
• Support refurbishments and overhauls to prepare machines for resale.
• Respond to breakdowns quickly and effectively, getting equipment back up and running with minimal downtime.
• Travel occasionally to customer sites across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands (once or twice per month, usually 2–3 days at a time).
• Work flexibly across a variety of tasks – from machine repairs to workshop duties and yard work – as required in a small, collaborative team.

Skills and experience

• Trade qualification – Certificate III in Plant Mechanics or Heavy Diesel (or equivalent).
• Dual trade qualifications will be highly regarded.
• Proven experience in field service, diagnostics, and repairs of heavy plant or similar machinery.
• Comfortable working in waste management environments such as landfills, recycling centres, and transfer stations.
• Strong diagnostic and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently in the field.
• Current driver’s licence (essential).
• Flexibility to travel regionally and, on occasion, overseas (short trips of 2–3 days).
• Full Australian working rights preferred – however, experienced 482 visa holders will be considered.

Benefits

• Competitive hourly rates based on experience, with additional recognition for dual-trade qualifications.
• Plenty of overtime available, paid at award penalty rates.
• Superannuation contributions in line with industry standards.
• Company vehicle provided, with personal use included.
• Opportunity to work on a wide range of heavy plant equipment across varied sites.
• Occasional travel opportunities within Australia and overseas.
• Join a small, supportive, and hands-on team environment.
