At Geraldton Fishermen’s Co-operative (GFC), we’re a little different — and we like it that way.

Created by members, run for members, we’re 100% owned by the fishers who supply us. We handle around 70% of WA’s rock lobster catch, making us the world’s largest rock lobster processor -and a business deeply connected to people, communities and coastline.

We're looking for a hands-on problem solver who enjoys identifying issues, finding practical solutions and taking ownership of the maintenance and upkeep of our facilities and equipment.

About the role

Reporting to the Reliability & Maintenance Manager, you'll play a key role in maintaining and improving the reliability, safety and functionality of our facilities, infrastructure and equipment across our sites.

This is more than a hands-on maintenance role. We're looking for someone who enjoys investigating issues, identifying root causes and taking initiative to implement practical solutions before problems impact operations.

You'll work across facility maintenance, contractor coordination, preventative maintenance and continuous improvement activities, helping ensure our sites operate safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption.

This role would suit a mechanically minded problem-solver who enjoys variety,



takes ownership of their work and is always looking for opportunities to improve processes, systems and facilities.

Location: Perth Metro, with your time shared across our Fremantle and Welshpool facilities.

Employment Type: Full time

What you'll be doing

You'll take an active role in maintaining and improving our facilities by:

- Diagnosing maintenance and facility issues and implementing effective solutions
- Conducting routine maintenance, repairs and preventative maintenance activities
- Performing facility, equipment and infrastructure inspections to identify risks and improvement opportunities
- Investigating recurring breakdowns or maintenance concerns and recommending long-term corrective actions
- Coordinating and managing external contractors, including scheduling work, monitoring performance and ensuring compliance with site requirements
- Assisting with maintenance planning and prioritisation of work activities
- Maintaining accurate maintenance records and updating systems such as MEX
- Supporting safety, compliance and audit requirements across the facilities
- Working collaboratively with operational teams to understand challenges and develop practical solutions
