Job Description
Looking to build a specialised, highly sought-after mechanical skill set?
n
We are seeking a mechanically minded individual to join our team as a Mobile Hose Fitter / Field Service Technician. In this role, you will operate a dedicated mobile service unit, responding to local breakdown requests and solve fluid power issues in office.
n
You do not need prior hydraulic experience. We are looking for someone who loves hands-on problem-solving, working with tools, and wants to master a highly technical trade.
n
What You Will Gain (The Pirtek Advantage)
n
When you join us, you aren't just getting a job on the road—you are gaining a world-class education from Australia's most experienced group of hydraulic hose and thread specialists. We will fast-track your technical knowledge from the ground up, teaching you:
n
n
Hose Dynamics & Uses: Master the science behind high-pressure fluid systems, understanding how different hoses react to extreme pressure, temperature, and bend radiuses across diverse machinery.
n
Advanced Thread Identification: Learn to identify and match a massive variety of European, American, British, and Asian threads and fittings on sight—a rare skill that makes you an invaluable technician.
n
System Diagnostics: Develop the ability to inspect complex machinery, trace fluid lines, and diagnose faults on the fly.
n
n
What We Offer
n
n
Comprehensive Paid Training: Complete, hands‐on training to get you fully confident with the tools, safety protocols, and technical data.
n
On-the-Road Independence:



Spend your days managing your own unit on the road, not trapped in the same workshop day after day.
n
Stable, Local Roster: Predictable Monday to Friday day shifts (8:00 AM to 4:30 PM) with a shared after‐hours roster (1 week on‐call every 3 weeks).
n
Tools of the Trade: Fully equipped service van, fuel card, and modern tools provided.
n
n
Daily Variety (Where You Will Be Working)
n
n
Civil construction and earthmoving projects
n
Transport, trucking, and logistics depots
n
Marine and waterfront facilities
n
Local fixed‐plant industrial sites
n
n
What We Are Looking For
n
We are highly flexible on your background. You might be a trade‐qualified mechanic/fitter looking to specialise, or someone with informal mechanical experience who just loves working with their hands.
n
n
Strong Mechanical Aptitude: You enjoy pulling things apart, fixing things, and understanding how mechanical systems work. Prior knowledge of fitting is highly regarded but not required.
n
Valid Driver's Licence (Essential): Because you will be operating a mobile service van and driving to field sites most of the day, a clean licence (either manual or automatic transmission) is a strict requirement.
n
Reliability & Independence: You can work alone safely on‐site, manage your time effectively, and turn up ready for your scheduled shifts and on‐call weeks.
n
n
Candidates must possess valid work authorisation to be employed in Australia.
