- Completing maintenance, servicing and mechanical repairs
- Assisting with basic welding and fabrication work
- Diagnosing mechanical and hydraulic faults
- Working collaboratively with fitters, boilermakers and other trades
- Maintaining a safe, organised and productive workshop

About You

- An interest in learning hydraulics, welding and other trade disciplines
- A flexible attitude and willingness to contribute across all areas of the workshop
