About the Role

If you're an Auto Electrician who values well-maintained equipment and a properly resourced workshop, this is an opportunity to join a maintenance team that's set up to succeed.

Our underground fleet includes contemporary Sandvik development and production rigs, load and haul equipment equipped with RCT remote systems, Normet charge rigs, Volvo ITs and a range of ancillary underground mining equipment, providing exposure to a diverse and technically advanced fleet.

We operate from a purpose-built six-bay steel workshop complete with overhead cranes and a service pit, supported by a dedicated maintenance store carrying more than $4 million in parts and consumables. With separate light vehicle and boilermaker facilities located nearby, we've invested heavily in our maintenance infrastructure so you can focus on quality diagnostics, repairs and preventative maintenance.
