About us

The Rosenlund Group is a proud Queensland family business that has led the demolition, civil, earthmoving and recycling industry for over 50 years. From a single backhoe in the 1960s to one of the largest specialist plant fleets in the state, we've built our name on doing the job safely, efficiently and properly. We directly employ our people, we keep them for the long haul, and we know the value of a fitter who's seen it all.

About the role

This is a depot-based role at our well-equipped Banyo workshop - no FIFO, no living away, no chasing work around the state. You'll be home every night.

Excavators are the heart of this business, and few fleets offer the range ours does from 1-tonne minis through mid-size civil machines to 120-tonne demolition excavators across Komatsu, Hitachi and Cat, including some of the tallest high-reach demolition machines in Australia. Behind them runs a hard-working road fleet: water trucks, and the low loaders that float our machines between jobs. You'll take ownership of keeping both sides of the operation serviced, diagnosed and repaired properly.

Day to day:





- Scheduled servicing and preventative maintenance across excavators and trucks
- Diagnostics and fault-finding on engines, hydraulics and electrical systems
- Brake, driveline and suspension work on the road fleet
- Repairs, component change-outs and rebuilds in a proper workshop with the right gear
- Occasional local field service across South East Queensland
- Sharing your knowledge - if you enjoy bringing younger tradespeople along, we'll give you the room to do it

About you

You're a trade-qualified Diesel Fitter or Plant Mechanic with serious time on the tools - the kind of judgement that only comes from years on excavators and heavy vehicles. You can diagnose a machine by ear as well as by laptop, you work unsupervised, and you take pride in a fleet that's maintained properly, not patched.

- Trade certificate (Mobile Plant Technology, Fixed & Mobile Plant Mechanic, or Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology)
- Extensive post-trade experience on excavators and/or trucks - 10+ years well regarded
- Solid diesel, hydraulic and auto-electrical fault-finding skills
- MR/HR licence highly regarded
- Current driver's licence; forklift ticket, White Card and welding skills all valued

What's on offer

- Competitive hourly rate plus overtime
- Permanent, depot-based role with steady Monday-to-Friday hours
- A workshop set up properly - the right tools, lifting equipment and support
- Uniforms, PPE and tools of trade supplied
- Genuine long-term security with a stable, respected family business
- Respect for your experience and the autonomy to run your work your way
