Auto Electricians | Bowen Basin Coal | Permanent | Camp Accommodation

Mackay & Coalfields QLD | Mining - Engineering & Maintenance | Full time Competitive rates super on all hours

Techforce is partnering with a major provider to build the maintenance crew for a significant steelmaking coal operation in the Bowen Basin, around two hours from Mackay.

The site is restarting under a solid current owner with an established Queensland coal portfolio. That means a maintenance team being built from the ground up, not inherited, and a long project runway in front of it.

What we're after

Standout auto electricians who can fault-find properly rather than swap parts until the light goes out.

- Certificate III in Automotive Electrical Technology (AUR30320) or recognised equivalent
- 5 years post-apprenticeship on mining plant
- Ultra-class hydraulic excavator experience highly regarded (Hitachi EX3600, Liebherr R9350 or similar)
- Strong diagnostic capability across CAT mobile plant: ET, VIMS, harness and loom repair, sensor and control system fault-finding
- Comfortable working across truck, dozer, grader, loader and ancillary fleet
- Current driver's licence




- Ability to pass pre-employment medical, D&A; screen and National Police Check
- Coal Board Medical, or willing to obtain

Restricted electrical licence, HV/24V dual systems exposure, and CAT or Hitachi OEM training are all well regarded but not mandatory.

What's in it

- Permanent roles with long-term project security
- Superannuation paid on all hours worked
- Camp accommodation on site, no extra travel
- Real upskilling and progression pathways under a people-focused operator
- Health insurance, retail and lifestyle discounts
- Join a crew from day one on a site building its culture around safety, respect and quality work

The work

Diagnostics, repair and preventative maintenance across the electrical systems of a mixed ultra-class and ancillary fleet: hydraulic excavators, ultra-class haul trucks, large dozers, graders, loaders, water carts and service trucks. Predominantly CAT with Hitachi excavation fleet.

Also hiring

HD Fitters, Boilermakers, and Service Truck Operators on the same site and conditions.
