About us

Dunsteel Engineering is a structural steel fabrication and installation business based in the Moss Vale, delivering commercial projects across Sydney. Our workshop runs a full processing line and we install what we make — so when plant goes down, it's felt immediately.

We're creating a current role to take ownership of that plant properly, rather than fixing things as they break.

The role

You'll be the person responsible for everything mechanical in our facility and across our mobile plant fleet. That means:
Building and running a preventive maintenance schedule — not just reacting to breakdowns
Mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic maintenance and fault-finding across processing plant, conveyors and roller tables, saws, drills, materials handling and compressed air
Maintaining our mobile plant: forklifts, EWPs, mini crawler crane, welding plant and generators
Keeping our registered plant compliant — overhead cranes, lifting gear, inspection and certification records
First-line diagnosis on CNC plant and managing the OEM service relationship when specialist support is needed
Managing external contractors — electrical, crane inspection, OEM service
Reducing unplanned downtime.

This is a genuine ownership role. You'll set the system up the way you think it should run,



and you'll have the budget and the authority to do it.

What you'll bring

Essential:
Trade qualification — Certificate III in Engineering (Mechanical Trade), Fitter/Machinist, Maintenance Fitter, Plant Mechanic, or Heavy Vehicle/Mobile Plant Mechanic
Solid hands-on background maintaining industrial plant, mobile plant or heavy machinery
Solid mechanical fault-finding — hydraulics, pneumatics, drives, bearings, gearboxes
The discipline to run a maintenance schedule and keep records, not just turn spanners
Current driver's licence

Highly regarded, but we'll train the right person:
Experience with CNC processing plant — beam lines, drill lines, plasma or laser cutting, band saws
Conveyor and materials handling systems
Basic PLC familiarity and the ability to read electrical and hydraulic schematics
Forklift, EWP or crane tickets
Any electrical qualification or restricted electrical licence
Experience supervising or mentoring a trade assistant or apprentice

What we offer
Permanent full time, day shift Monday to Friday
Genuine autonomy and a direct line to the leadership team
Support to get any tickets or training you need

Applicants must have full working rights in Australia.
