Service & Installations Technician | Global Industrial Powerhouse
Service & Installations Technician | Global Industrial Powerhouse
If you're the type of person who likes pulling things apart, understanding why something isn't working, and figuring out how to get it running again, this could be a strong next step.
We're recruiting for an established global industrial engineering business that has been operating for close to 100 years, supplying and supporting specialized equipment across manufacturing, engineering and industrial environments worldwide.
They're looking for someone with a good mechanical foundation who wants to develop into a well-rounded industrial technician.
You don't need to have worked on this exact equipment before.
You might currently be working with compressors, pumps, automotive equipment, HVAC, machinery, access equipment, fabrication, manufacturing maintenance or another hands‐on trade environment.
What matters more is that you're mechanically capable, curious, safety-conscious and willing to learn.
What you'll actually be doing
This is a genuine field service position.
You'll be trained on the company's equipment before gradually taking ownership of customer sites and service calls.
Your work will include:
Fault-finding mechanical and basic electrical issues
Servicing and repairing industrial extraction and filtration equipment
Preventative maintenance and equipment inspections
Working with motors, fans, filters, ducting and associated components
Using testing equipment, hand tools and power tools




Supporting installations and commissioning work
Completing service reports and documenting work accurately
Speaking directly with customers about faults, repairs and recommendations
Managing your own service schedule once you're up to speed
Working alongside experienced technicians, contractors and project teams
There's also room for the position to develop beyond routine servicing.
For someone who shows the capability and wants the responsibility, there is potential to gain greater exposure to equipment installations, commissioning and eventually project coordination/management.
We're interested in how you think
You don't need to know everything on day one.
We'd rather speak with someone who sees a machine that isn't working and naturally starts thinking:
Is it mechanical?
Is it electrical?
What's changed?
What can I safely isolate and test?
You'll probably suit the role if you're a bit of a tinkerer, someone who enjoys understanding how machinery works rather than simply replacing parts.
Just as importantly, you need a solid safety mindset.
You should be comfortable working around procedures such as SWMS, isolation/LOTO, Working at Heights and EWP requirements,



and understand when something is outside your scope and needs to be escalated.
What you'll bring
Hands-on mechanical aptitude
Some experience servicing, repairing or maintaining equipment
Basic electrical/control-system awareness
Confidence with hand and power tools
A logical approach to fault-finding
Good customer communication
Ability to work independently once trained
Strong safety awareness
Willingness to learn unfamiliar equipment and systems
A White Card, EWP, Working at Heights, Working with Children Check or forklift licence will be looked upon favourably, but don't rule yourself out if you're missing a ticket.
Some training/tickets can be arranged for the right person.
Why consider it?
You're joining a business with the stability and technical backing of an established global industrial engineering group, rather than a small operator where you've hit the ceiling after a few years.
You'll receive proper product and systems training, exposure to different industrial environments and the autonomy to eventually manage your own field work.
For someone earlier in their industrial service career, the attraction is where it can lead: service ?
more complex fault-finding ?
installations/commissioning ?
greater project responsibility.
The package includes:
$75,000-$85,000 + super, depending on experience
Company vehicle
Phone, laptop and iPad
Uniform
Product and systems training
Field-based work across Melbourne and surrounding areas
